Kouroufing National Park- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Kouroufing National Park, established on 16 January 2002, spans 557 km² in southwestern Mali and forms part of the Bafing Biosphere. The park lies north of Lake Manantali, an artificial reservoir created by the Manantali Dam in 1989, which altered local flood patterns while enabling irrigation, fishing, and hydroelectric power. Dedicated to chimpanzee conservation, the park experiences rainfall from June to October. It offers wildlife viewing, particularly primates, during the dry months from October to January.
