Description

Come and discover an unvisited corner of Africa that is well-appointed and set up for safari and more affordable than the game parks of Kenya and Tanzania. W National Park is named for the bends in the Niger River that meanders in the shape of a W. Also, visit the Koure National Park to explore wild animals, including Africa's "big 5", and look out for varied bird species in the park.
