Boucle du Baoulé National Park, is a West African Savannah ecosystem and was founded in 1982, covers 9,780 square miles. The national park has two biogeographic zones: the Sahelian zone to the north and Sudano-Guinean zone to the south. It is bounded by the Baoulé River in the west and the Ansongo-Ménaka Animal Reserve and Douentza (Gourma) Elephant Reserve in the east making it a significant sanctuary. Unfortunately much poaching has gone on in recent years.

Vegetation includes wooden savanna, grasslands, bush savanna, riverine forest along river and gallery forests. 

The African antelope is found within the park, as well as giraffes, monkeys, and warthogs. Whether any lions or hyenas survive is not currently clear, though it is highly likely that there are leopards still living in the area.

February and June are the best time to observe fauna. The rainy season falls from June to October. The temperatures are moderate. The park is administered and managed by the National Parks Department that is under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Animal Husbandry.

Hopefully a park that can start to recover. Your visit would help this.
