Jos Wildlife Park, Nature reserve and wildlife park in Jos, Nigeria
The Jos Wildlife Park covers 8 square kilometers along Jos-Miango road, featuring pine forests and the 1,345-meter Vongnifwel Hill within its boundaries.
Governor Joseph Gomwalk established the Jos Wildlife Park in 1972 as part of Nigeria's initiative to protect local wildlife and create educational opportunities.
The park houses a history museum that presents exhibitions about the development of Plateau State and the regional significance of wildlife conservation.
Guided tours introduce visitors to elephants, lions, gazelles, pythons, and numerous bird species throughout designated pathways within the enclosed natural areas.
Located at an elevation in Nigeria's middle belt region, the park maintains both natural and artificial zoological environments for indigenous African wildlife.
