About Nki National Park

Nki National Park
 

Nki National Park, located in the southeastern part of Cameroon, encompasses approximately 1,350,000 acres of untouched tropical rainforest. The park is renowned for its biodiversity and is home to a variety of wildlife, including large populations of forest elephants, chimpanzees, and lowland gorillas, as well as the rarer bongo antelope. The Dja River, a significant feature of the park, provides essential water access and creates lush riverine habitats. Established in 2005, Nki is part of a network of parks in the Congo Basin Forest Ecosystem, serving as an essential conservation area that supports the ecological balance of the region. The park remains largely unexplored due to its remote location and the challenging terrain, which offers adventure seekers a chance for genuine wilderness exploration. Its lack of infrastructure and minimal human impact highlight the park's commitment to preserving its pristine environment. Key recreational opportunities include wildlife viewing, bird watching, and guided jungle treks offering a glimpse into the untouched wilderness of central Africa.
