The protected area covers 11,191 square kilometers of tropical dry forests, wooded savannas, and gallery forests in northern Central African Republic.

The park gained status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1979 and was formally established as a national park in 1993.

Local communities maintain traditional practices of natural resource management within designated zones of the park's territory.

Access to the park requires permits from authorities in Bangui, with transportation available through authorized guides from N'Délé city.
