Burkina's game reserves are undeveloped by comparison with those in Kenya or Zimbabwe, but Parc National d'Arli (Arli Game Reserve) is the best—it's a continuation of the Pendjari Reserve in Benin.
Lions, elephants, water buffalo, hyenas and a variety of lesser-known animals roam its 30,000 acres/12,150 hectares. It is difficult to get to without your own vehicle, but organized trips can be arranged from Ouaga.
260 mi/420 km east of Ouagadougou.
