Jos Wildlife Park, established in 1972 and located about 5 kilometers from Jos city along the Jos–Miango road, spans 8 square kilometers and ranks among Nigeria's largest zoological parks. Set within Plateau State's highland landscape, the park combines natural and artificial features and is home to a range of wildlife including elephants, elands, lions, hyenas, crocodiles, ostriches, and pythons. It also offers scenic picnic areas, including a pine forest and the summit of Vongnifwel Hill, the highest point east of Jos at 1,345 meters. The park plays an active role in Nigeria's efforts to promote tourism and ecological conservation.

It was really nice, the state government and the World Bank are trying to revive it by bringing new animals, refurbishing the buildings and just elevating the experience (some monkeys are allowed to walk around freely). I really had a great time visiting with my family.

It has been like 8years since I visited the wildlife park last, up until yesterday. I observed that it totally changed. Especially the environment which is not kept well, grasses are making the pathways bushy, no park rangers or guides in particular areas of the park to talk to Incase of questions to ask, the museum had no light, the rest room I saw was dilapidated. I pray that the government would kindly do something about all these to keep our heritage attractive.

Would have been a good tourist site if there were much animals in the park. It's just too dry, wanting in actual wild animal just the ape family, an old elephant, crocodile, python, ostrich, peacock and lions. I wished there was really more to make it a wildlife park. The park isn't properly taken care of grasses everywhere but the forest trees there brings you in direct contact with nature. It's either the government invest in this tourism site or make open for private public partnership.
