Dosso Reserve

Dosso Reserve is a protected area in the Dallol Bosso valley with grasslands, shrublands, and savanna habitats. The landscape spans a large area with diverse ecosystems and vegetation types.

The reserve was established in 1962 as a key protected area for habitats and wildlife. Its creation marked a turning point for conservation efforts in the region.

Communities living near this protected area maintain traditional ways of life while following rules that protect the landscape. The place shows how people and nature have coexisted here for generations.

This area is remote and requires proper preparation for a visit. The best time to explore is during the dry season when roads are more accessible.

This reserve serves as a resting point along the migration route of West African giraffes. These animals pass through the region when rains bring fresh vegetation.
