Bantia Botanical Garden
Bantia Botanical Garden covers about 10 ha of protected Sudanian savanna and wetland, roughly 10 km south of Fada N'Gourma on the road to Pama. Paths link the different habitats to a central rest area, and the site also holds a small museum and a guest house of several rondavels. Its entrance wall is painted light grey-blue, carrying a circular emblem with trees, water and soil and the words "JARDIN BOTANIQUE BANTIA".
Bantia Botanical Garden was founded in 2001 on about 10 ha of Sudanian savanna and wetland south of Fada N'Gourma, along the road to Pama. The site was placed under protection from fire and human impact and planted with local species. It now holds 116 tree species and 110 herb species, and its grounds shelter numerous bird species, Nile crocodiles and water turtles.
Wear sturdy shoes and bring sun protection, as the garden is largely outdoor with exposed areas. Visit during cooler times of day for a more comfortable experience while walking through the plant collections.
