The safety situation in all of the Central African Republic is highly unstable. The park has long suffered from professional poachers, many from Chad or Sudan, often equipped with automatic weapons.
landscape
The park, which is in the northern part of the Central African Republic, can be divided into three main zones. In the north the Bahr Aouk and Bahr Kameur rivers help create a grassy floodplain, the central part consists of bushy or wooded savanna plains with occasional small granite inselbergs, and in the south is the Chaine des Bongo plateau.
flora and fauna
The savannahs are home to many different species: black rhinoceroses, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs, gazelles and buffalo.
