Orango Islands National Park, National park in Bolama region, Guinea-Bissau.
The park covers 1,582 square kilometers of land and marine sections across five islands of the Bissagos Archipelago, including Orango, Orangozinho, and Meneque.
The establishment of Orango Islands National Park in December 2000 marked a commitment to protect the natural resources of the Bissagos Archipelago.
The Bijagó people maintain matrimonial traditions where women initiate marriage proposals through offering specially prepared fish marinated in red palm oil.
Access to the park requires boat transportation, with visitors needing to arrange local guides to explore the protected areas of the five islands.
The park contains saltwater hippopotamuses that adapted to coastal conditions, frequently appearing near beaches instead of traditional freshwater habitats.
