Nazinga Game Ranch, Protected wildlife area in Nahouri and Sissili Provinces, Burkina Faso.

Nazinga Game Ranch is a 913 km² protected area near Pô in southern Burkina Faso, divided into a conservation zone of 84.5 km², a buffer zone of 48.3 km² and a hunting zone of 789.6 km². It adjoins the Sissili classified forest and lies close to Kaboré-Tambi National Park. The Lungren brothers built dams and about 600 km of roads across the ranch.

The ranch was established in 1979 by Canadian brothers Robert and Clark Lungren to restore wildlife populations and counter widespread hunting. This foundation marked a turning point in how the region approached wildlife conservation and land protection.

The ranch transformed how surrounding communities relate to wildlife by converting former hunters into conservation workers and establishing programs that balance protection with local resource use.

The reserve lies near Pô in southern Burkina Faso and is reached by road from Ouagadougou or Léo; the 600 km of tracks built by the Lungrens link the administrative base, dams and waterholes. Elephant numbers are highest in the Nazinga–Sissili sector, so plan game drives around the waterholes in the dry season. The reserve is divided into a conservation zone, a buffer zone and a hunting zone, and visitors stay within the conservation and buffer areas.

The ranch operates a controlled wildlife management system where animal reproduction is carefully monitored to increase populations while also providing protein sources for local people. This approach shows that conservation and community needs can work together.
