YANKARI GAME RESERVE
The Yankari Game Reserve is a game park in Bauchi State, North
East Nigeria. Located in the heartland of the West African savannah, it
provides a unique way for tourists and holidaymakers to watch wildlife in its
natural habitat. Yankari 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.
I remember
visiting Yankari as a child. I must have been about six. We drove all the way to Jos and then to
Bauchi. It must have taken us about nine hours.
That holiday remains one of my most memorable till date.
A lot has changed since then, and with the looming
insecurity in Nigeria, visitors to the park have dwindled. Nonetheless, Yankari still offers a refreshing way
to unwind and relax.
