Pendjari National Park

Overview

Introduction

Benin's two national parks, Pendjari National Park (Parc National de la Pendjari) and W Park (Parc National du W), are near each other in the far northern section of the country. Although W Park is larger, it's harder to get to. Pendjari (open December-May) is easier to visit. There you'll see lion, hippo, leopard, baboon, wild pig, gazelle, crocodile, buffalo, plenty of elephants and many types of birds. You can overnight in Pendjari or in the town of Natitingou.
