Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Forêt du Day National Park, situated in the Goda Mountains of central Djibouti, spans a diverse landscape featuring one of the last remaining juniper forests in the region. The park is a vital ecological area due to its high-altitude montane vegetation, providing habitat for a variety of endemic species. Established primarily for the conservation of its unique biodiversity, this park serves as a refuge for wildlife including the endangered Djibouti francolin and numerous other bird species. Apart from its ecological significance, the area is of interest to history enthusiasts due to the remnants of colonial-era installations. Visitors can enjoy hiking to explore the diverse flora and fauna, with the cool mountain air offering a refreshing change from the surrounding arid landscapes. The park's distinctive locales, such as its highland woodlands and nearby salt plains, offer memorable sights for budding photographers and seasoned historians alike.
