Ferlo Nord Wildlife Reserve

The Ferlo Nord Wildlife Reserve encompasses 6,000 square kilometers of savannas and seasonal wetlands in northern Senegal, where antelopes and migratory birds find sanctuary.

The government of Senegal established Ferlo Nord Wildlife Reserve in 1971 to protect native species and maintain ecological balance in the semi-arid region.

Local communities near the reserve continue traditional land management practices while participating in conservation efforts through educational programs and sustainable resource use.

Visitors can access the reserve through guided tours from nearby Koundi Boki, with the best wildlife viewing opportunities occurring during seasonal migrations.

The reserve contains specific corridors designed for animal movement patterns, connecting different habitats across its vast territory of acacia-dotted landscapes.
