Nazinga Game Ranch

South of Pô, Nahouri Province, Burkina Faso

---

Nazinga Game Ranch, located south of Pô in Nahouri Province, is one of Burkina Faso’s most important wildlife conservation areas.

Established in 1979, the reserve covers a large area of savanna, woodland, rivers, and watering holes, providing habitat for elephants, buffalo, antelopes, crocodiles, monkeys, and hundreds of bird species. The ranch is especially famous for its large elephant population and offers visitors the chance to observe wildlife in a natural setting through guided safaris and nature tours.

It was created as a pioneering project that combines conservation with sustainable resource management and local community benefits, making it an important model for wildlife protection in West Africa. Its rich biodiversity, scenic landscapes, and opportunities for close wildlife encounters make Nazinga Game Ranch one of the country's most notable ecotourism destinations.
