Fazao-Malfakassa National Park
The Fazao-Malfakassa National Park a very rugged one filled with heavy forests and mountain areas, so some hiking may be pretty strenuous. You can get a guided tour around the park so you won’t miss anything. Elephants, warthogs, monkeys, buffalo and herds of antelope all live in the park and are commonly seen by visitors.
Keran National Park
The Keran National Park is north of Kara and one of the larger parks in Togo. It’s mostly savannah and grassland, so it is a definite change of scenery compared to the Fazao-Malfakassa Park. There are several large groups of elephants in the park and that does make it a little busy with tourists though. You can also find buffalo wandering around as well as different species of gazelle and antelope.
When Should You Visit?:
If you are coming to Kara to see the wildlife parks, then you will have to come during the hot and dry season for the best animal viewing. That’s when animals group together more predictably at water sources. So you should come between November and March, though the heat will be around 34C (93F) in the daytime. Otherwise, you will find it a little cooler in July and August, around 28C (82F) with more rain.
