Giraffes
West Africa's last surviving giraffe herd lives near the city. At the park headquarters, you pay 4000F per person for tourists, 3000F for âforeign residentsâ, or 1000F for Nigeriens. You also pay 5,000F per carload for the Guide Association fee, and then a tip at the end for the guide himself. Donât forget your ID because you do go through a check-point. During the rainy season, the giraffes are closer to the road. If this is the case you can avoid renting a car. Instead, go to Wadatta, buy a ticket, and take a bush taxi to Kouré, and then the guide will walk you over to the giraffes. During the rainy season, the giraffes are closer to the the highway and you can save money by not hiring a car. âCloserâ can still mean an hour or more walk to get to them.
