Kaboré Tambi National Park, National park in Zoundwéogo and Ziro Provinces, Burkina Faso.
Kaboré Tambi National Park is a protected area spanning two provinces in southern Burkina Faso, with grassland and mixed savanna zones. The terrain shifts from open landscape in the north to more wooded areas in the south.
The area was established as Pô National Park in 1976 and renamed in 1991 to honor a ranger who died protecting it. The name change marks an important moment in Burkina Faso's conservation history.
Local communities near the park produce shea butter soap and soumbala, connecting their livelihoods with nature conservation. These handmade products are part of everyday life for people in the region.
The city of Pô nearby serves as the main entry point and base for exploring the park. Visitors can arrange their activities from this location before heading into the area.
The Nazinon River flows through the protected area and carries water across the landscape, creating a green corridor through the savanna. This waterway is vital for the wildlife and plants in the region.
