Nestled in the north west corner of Benin, Pendjari National Park span a vast 4,800 km2. Representing one of the last true wildernesses of West Africa, the park supports an astonishing array of flora and fauna: contributing to it being added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2017. On seemingly endless savannahs, herds of herbivores graze under the watchful eye of lounging lions; while elephants and buffalo quench their thirst at tranquil pools, and an incredible variety of birdlife can be spotted amongst the trees. Pendjari’s spectacular landscape is also home to a number of species distinct to this region of Africa, providing visitors with a truly unique safari experience Pendjari is home to the region’s largest population of elephants and over 100 West African lions representing a 1/4 of all remaining members of this critically endangered subspecies.

Well worth a trip to this interesting village with all buildings on stilt over the lake. Went with a local so no trouble finding dock for boats or negotiating price. Fees really minimal and a bargain if going in a group since boat was a flat rate. Our boat had a young man who offered to act as a guide "for whatever we wished to pay" though there was a suggestion of CFA5000 - less than $10. Stanislaus said he was a resident, told us all about the history and explained how the fishing works. Was open to any question and though he spoke very little English he spoke slowly in clear French making most of the tour understandable to my limited French. Only two stops to shop and nothing at all pushy in either place. They were pleasant interludes. All in all a fascinating half day visit in a country not long on things to do in down time/
