Zakouma National Park is a remarkable destination I had heard about but truly comprehended only
Tony McKeith
I first visited Zakouma in 2016, and it completely surpassed my expectations. It’s one of the most impressive conservation success stories in Africa and a destination that feels genuinely different. If wildlife and conservation matter to you, Zakouma is a place you really should experience. We arrange this unique safari annually, and each year it remains one of the most rewarding trips we run.
Zakouma is home to the largest remaining population of Kordofan giraffe, incredible herds of Central African buffalo, red-fronted gazelle, tiang, hartebeest and an outstanding predator presence—lion, leopard, cheetah, serval, hyena and more. Birding is exceptional, and the Red-billed Quelea flocks have to be seen to be believed.
For 2026, we’re returning with Doug Macdonald, who knows Zakouma inside out and brings huge value to every day in the field. We also have 2027 dates available for those planning ahead.
You will stay at Tinga Lodge, a simple, comfortable base close to some of the best wildlife areas. Expect rewarding day and night drives, a visit to Riguek Pan, time with the anti-poaching team, and insight into the conservation work that has transformed this landscape.
