Arli National Park

Arli National Park often called Arly in southeast Burkina Faso is one of four in the country and is home to hundreds of wildlife. The park covers over 700 square kilometers and is home to lions, antelopes, monkeys, and hippos, among other species. Previously, the park was home to the African wild dog, but it is believed that the species has been wiped out in the region due to the growing human population and other circumstances. The Tonga watering hole is one of the park's most dependable and popular wildlife viewing areas, attracting a wide range of species all year. Several guided tours are available, and they are typically reasonably priced. You can visit the Park by car, and follow the guides if you want to explore some parts on foot.

Sigou Reserve was established one year after Arli. Today it is a completion of the main Park and they are often referred to as one, as Arly-Singou or Arli-Singou.
