Yankari Game Reserve in Bauchi State, Nigeria, is a large wildlife park known for its diverse flora and fauna, including elephants, baboons, various antelope species, and birdlife. The reserve is best visited during the dry season (November to May) when wildlife is easier to spot due to the sparse vegetation and animals congregating around water sources; some areas may be inaccessible during the rainy season (June to October). While self-guided tours are possible, guided tours are recommended for a richer experience and to maximize wildlife sightings and safety. Accessibility within the park varies, with some areas being more easily navigable than others, so it's advisable to inquire about conditions upon arrival. The cost of entry and tours varies but expect to pay park fees and potentially additional costs for guided excursions. A typical visit duration ranges from one to several days, depending on your interests and available time.
