Sanda Kyarimi Park, Zoological park in Maiduguri, Nigeria.
The 42-acre Sanda Kyarimi Park features multiple animal exhibits including lions, elephants, crocodiles, pythons, and numerous bird species within landscaped grounds.
Established in 1970 as a forest reserve, the park evolved into a wildlife sanctuary and bears the name of Shehu Sanda Kyarimi, who led Borno from 1937 to 1967.
The park serves as a primary educational resource for local schools, offering students direct exposure to wildlife conservation and natural sciences through guided tours.
Located between the High Court premises and business district along Shehu Laminu Way, the park maintains regular visiting hours with enhanced activity during morning and late afternoon.
The monkey village section houses multiple primate species, including red pandas, baboons, and a long-term resident chimpanzee that interacts with visitors.
