Arli National Park, Natural reserve in Est Region, Burkina Faso.
Arli National Park is a protected reserve in southeastern Burkina Faso featuring savanna woodlands, gallery forests, and sandstone hills. The landscape is shaped by the Arli and Pendjari rivers, which flow through diverse habitats.
The park was established in 1954, marking one of the first wildlife protection efforts in southeastern Burkina Faso. This founding initiated organized conservation work in the region.
Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices while contributing to wildlife preservation through sustainable resource management programs.
The park is accessible via the N19 highway through Diapaga and offers guided tours for wildlife observation. Visitors should join a local guide to experience the area safely and see animals in their habitats.
The park is home to around 200 hippopotamuses that gather at Tounga waterhole during the dry season. This represents one of the largest concentrations of these animals in the western Sahel region.
