Garamba National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of Africa's oldest protected areas, renowned for its vast savannahs, grasslands, and woodlands. The park is home to a rich diversity of wildlife, including four of the largest land mammals: elephants, giraffes, hippopotamuses, and the critically endangered white rhinoceros, with only about 30 individuals remaining. Garamba also offers excellent birdwatching opportunities, with sightings of the Abyssinian ground hornbill, kingfishers, and various bee-eaters. Over the years, Garamba has made significant strides in conservation, transforming from a wildlife-depleted region into a vital area for biodiversity and local community support.

Garamba National Park sits on DRC’s border with South Sudan. Political instability in South Sudan has made protecting giraffes from poaching even more challenging, with armed groups coming across the border to hunt as part of the illegal wildlife trade. Since 2013, it has also brought an influx of almost 90,000 refugees into the immediate vicinity of Garamba alone. Despite the local population’s efforts to protect the giraffe, the illegal wildlife trade is a multibillion dollar industry, and the poaching of giraffes is still a problem.
