A lioness has been spotted in a reserve in Chad, which has not recorded one since 2004!
Chad
Chad is another country in Africa, which is perhaps more famously tied to famine and desert than wildlife, but this is unfair. While wildlife has not faired well (it rarely does when the humans living alongside it are struggling). Elephants, West African lions, buffalo, hippopotamuses, Kordofan giraffes, antelopes, African leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and many species of snakes are found there, although most large carnivore populations have been drastically reduced since the early 20th century.
- Zacouma national park
- Aouk national park
- Manda national park
- Sena national park
On top of these national parks, there are a total of 18 nature reserves in the country.
This does make up a significant part of Chad, however, the ecotourism marketplace is young in the country, and as such some of these parks are not greatly looked after. As we link with more and more places, these links will appear below.
