Wongo National Park

The wildlife sanctuary extends across 534 square kilometers of forests and savannas, providing habitats for numerous indigenous animal species.

The Malian government established Wongo National Park in January 2002 as part of a regional initiative to protect natural environments.

Local communities participate in environmental protection activities while maintaining traditional practices related to natural resource management.

The national park remains accessible throughout the year, with optimal wildlife observation opportunities during the dry season from November to May.

Wongo National Park functions as a dedicated conservation area for chimpanzee populations in the southern region of Mali.
