About Yankari Game Reserve
Yankari was created as a game reserve in 1956, but later designated Nigeria’s biggest national park in 1991. In 2006 it lost its national park status. Its location in the heartland of the West African savanna makes it a unique way for tourists to watch wildlife in its natural habitat. It is the most popular destination for tourists in Nigeria and, as such, plays a crucial role in the development and promotion of tourism and ecotourism in Nigeria. It is also one of the most popular eco-destinations in West Africa. It was the first game reserve to be opened to the public in 1956. It was turned into a national park in 1991, before losing that status in 2006. Yankari is a popular tourist destination in the country and it is rapidly growing in popularity.
