Kaboré Tambi National Park

The park extends over 1,555 square kilometers of northern Sudan savanna grassland in the north and mixed southern Sudan and northern Guinea savanna in the south.

Initially established in 1976 as Pô National Park, the protected area received its current name in 1991 to commemorate a park ranger who lost his life to poachers.

Local communities near the park participate in sustainable initiatives through the production of karité soap and soumbala, creating economic opportunities while preserving natural resources.

Visitors can access the park from the nearby city of Pô, which functions as the primary entry point and offers accommodation options for nature observation activities.

The Nazinon River flows through the protected area, supporting the forest cover that helps regulate climate and prevent desertification in this region of Burkina Faso.
