Burigi Game Reserve, Game reserve in western Tanzania.
The reserve spans 4,707 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including freshwater lakes, hills, rocky escarpments, valleys with forests, open plains, and swamps.
Established in 1980, the Burigi Game Reserve transformed from a wildlife management area into a protected territory dedicated to conservation and regulated hunting.
Local communities near the reserve participate in conservation initiatives while maintaining traditional practices of natural resource management within designated buffer zones.
Visitors need to arrange transportation through certified tour operators, as the reserve's remote location requires careful planning and appropriate vehicles.
Lake Burigi within the reserve contains multiple islands that provide natural habitats for rare sitatunga antelopes and various water birds.
