Nazinga Game Ranch, established in 1979 in southern Burkina Faso by Canadian brothers Robert and Clark Lungren, began as a conservation project to address drought, deforestation, and wildlife depletion. Through sustainable practices—including dam construction, anti-poaching measures, and wildlife reintroduction—the ranch demonstrated that managed culling could boost animal populations while providing high-quality meat and employment. Despite initial success, government takeover in 1989 shifted its focus to tourism, diminishing its original conservation and community impact.

    It was a great experience! We got there Jan-10, 2019 at around 3pm, paid for 2 tours, one for that afternoon and the second for the next morning. We were satisfied with the first tour so we decided to go see the surroundings instead (went up the hill and visited a nearby village ). They don't have vehicles there if you just show up. So you have to make that arrangement before you get there. We used our own vehicle, but they too have people they can contact for you to rent vehicles. We saw the elephants and other species. The sky was pretty at night because it is so dark. We had power for 4 hours only, 6 PM to 10 PM, as we were told on arrival. That made it even more awesome! Real camping, if you know what I mean. Too bad my woman was too scared to stay out and enjoy the stars. The sounds of the whild life could be heard all night. The road was safe from Ouagadougou to Nazinga. Nothing to worry about.
