Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuary

The 53-square-kilometer sanctuary contains riverine forests, rainforests, woodland savannas, and grassland savannas supporting diverse wildlife populations throughout the reserve.

The sanctuary originated as part of the Boumfum Forest Reserve in 1946 and expanded to its current size through the Wildlife Reserves Amendment Regulation in 1975.

The sanctuary incorporates the Lion Stone, a natural rock formation shaped like a lion, along with traditional caves that hold significance for local communities.

November offers the most favorable conditions for wildlife viewing, as animals remain visible before retreating deeper into the forest during the rainy season.

The sanctuary features the Bomfobiri waterfall, which serves as a habitat for crocodiles, and the Wala waterfall, which provides swimming opportunities for visitors.
