Enquiry Form for – 3 Days Pendjari tour

Nestled in northwestern Benin, Pendjari National Park is a breathtaking wilderness sanctuary and one of West Africa’s last great refuges for iconic wildlife. As part of the vast UNESCO-listed W-Arly-Pendjari (WAP) complex, this 2,755 km² park boasts sweeping savannas, rugged cliffs, and life-sustaining rivers that attract elephants, lions, hippos, and over 400 bird species. Visitors can embark on thrilling game drives at dawn to spot prides of lions prowling the Batia plains or herds of elephants gathering at waterholes in the dry season. The Pendjari River teems with hippos and crocodiles, while rare cheetahs and leopards—though elusive—add to the park’s untamed allure.

Adventurers can choose from rustic bush camps or comfortable lodges like Pendjari Lodge, which blends into the landscape with eco-friendly designs. Beyond classic safaris, experiences range from boat trips along the river to guided bush walks with expert trackers. Night drives reveal the park’s nocturnal secrets, from hyenas to genets. The nearby Tata Somba mud fortresses and Tanougou Falls offer cultural and scenic detours. With its raw, uncrowded beauty and conservation success stories (like its thriving lion population), Pendjari delivers an authentic African safari without the crowds or high costs of more famous parks. Best visited December–April, this hidden gem rewards travelers with unforgettable encounters in one of the continent’s most pristine ecosystems.
