Kismayo National Park, National park in Jubaland, Somalia
Kismayo National Park extends over 3,340 square kilometers of diverse ecosystems, combining sandy beaches, salt marshes, and grasslands along the southern Somali coast.
The national park administration constructed water retention ponds during past droughts to prevent wildlife migration and maintain populations of leopards, impalas, and elephants.
The national park represents a natural heritage site where local communities traditionally practiced sustainable fishing and environmental protection methods prior to regional conflicts.
Wildlife observation periods in the park occur during January, February, July, and October, when temperatures and weather conditions support animal activity.
The protected area contains specific populations of Vervet monkeys and Somali sheep, while lions and hyenas maintain natural predator-prey relationships within the park boundaries.
