Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Comoe-Leraba Reserve is a protected area in the southwest region of Burkina Faso near the border with Côte d'Ivoire. It encompasses diverse ecosystems, transitioning from savannahs to lush gallery forests, and is home to a wide array of flora and fauna. The reserve provides a habitat for various animal species, including elephants, buffalos, and numerous antelope species, making it a valuable site for wildlife viewing. In addition to its natural appeal, the reserve serves as an important ecological corridor between Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire. This unspoiled area is a haven for bird watchers, housing several rare bird species, and offers a significant opportunity for ecological study and conservation efforts. Visitors will find minimal infrastructure, allowing for an immersive natural experience, with activities mainly focusing on guided nature walks and cultural exchanges with local communities who play a key role in the reserve’s conservation.
