Pama Reserve

Pama Reserve is a protected wildlife area in eastern Kompienga Province spanning a large expanse of savanna landscape. The region is crossed by the Singou river and features various grass species along with seasonal water sources.

The reserve was established in 1955 and forms part of a larger protected area complex. It connects with neighboring reserves through natural boundaries, creating a linked wilderness system across the region.

Local communities near the reserve maintain traditional agricultural practices while participating in conservation efforts through sustainable resource management programs.

The best time to visit is during the dry season when animals gather at water sources and are easier to observe. Access is via the national road N18, and guided tours are available to help organize wildlife viewing.

The area hosts over 450 plant species, including rare flowering plants adapted to savanna conditions. This botanical diversity provides a foundation for elephants, lions, leopards, and other large predators that naturally inhabit the region.
