If time doesn't permit a trip to one of the two eastern parks, see Parc National de Kabore Tembi, home to antelope, monkeys and crocodiles. Much of the wildlife seems to have migrated, however, so many visitors prefer the Nazinga Reserve nearby, a small game ranch, where you are more likely to see elephants, as well as antelopes, warthogs and baboons.
The ranch is near the village of
Po, a two-hour drive south of Ouagadougou. Also near Po are
Tiakane and
Tiebele, where you can see the beautifully painted traditional houses of the Gourounsi people.
100 mi/160 km south of Ouagadougou.
