Intimate observation of the wildlife of Niokolo Koba

With 10 observatories, 5 km of safe trails to explore on foot or in a golf cart, and an electric motor boat to silently explore the banks of the river, you can observe animals up close all day long without leaving camp. A paradise for wildlife photography!

Alone in the tropical forest: a new and exciting experience

Take advantage of our permanent pools and salt flats to easily observe harnessed guibs, fassa cobes, ourebis, duiphobes, and the magnificent koba, emblem of the park. With a bit of assiduity, you may come across lions or leopards.

It's your turn to be
in a cage!

Enjoy a unique experience by putting yourself “in a cage” in the middle of wild animals in total freedom. Take advantage of this rare proximity to nature, where you will observe animals without them detecting your presence.

Our secure observatories, protected by iron cages covered with bamboo, allow you to approach lions, antelopes, baboons and other species safely within a few meters. An impressive and exciting immersion that is definitely worth discovering!

Ready for a night out?

Go on a golf cart or on the lookout to observe the many nocturnal animals such as the civet, genet, hyena, jackal, ratel, galago, mongoose, or even the lion and the leopard. Our blinds are usable at night thanks to infrared and warm light spots that do not frighten animals.

The absence of light and air pollution makes it possible to admire the extraordinary Milky Way that only the African skies make so bright.
