Bouba Njida National Park, natural park in Cameroon
Bouba Njida National Park is a natural reserve in the Mayo-Rey region of Cameroon, covering a vast area of woodland mixed with open grassland. The park protects diverse wildlife populations and their habitats across its landscape.
The park was established to protect its natural habitats and wildlife populations from human pressures. Its recognition as a tentative World Heritage Site reflects its importance for global biodiversity conservation.
The best time to visit is during the dry season when animals gather at water sources and paths are easier to travel. A local guide is recommended for safe exploration and to spot wildlife effectively.
The area is home to one of Central Africa's larger elephant populations that use established migration routes through the landscape. These movements follow ancient patterns passed down through generations of these animals.
