Safaris

The majority of the national parks located in the far north, near the borders with Chad and Sudan. They are only available during the dry season from Birao reachable by jeep. The animal wealth is impressive, although unscrupulous poachers and trophy hunters have decimated the stocks significantly. Since there is no shelter, sleeping bag and food must be brought. The best way to organize the tours within the country, but one should estimate enough time for planning.
