Kyabobo National Park, a newly created Park in the
Atwode traditional area, is located in the Nkwanta
district of the Northern Volta Region. This park
which covers an area of 359.8 km² is found
in the Dry semi-deciduous forest zone and has both
forest and savanna species of plants and animals.
Its forests contain the nationally endangered endemic
tree Talbotiella gendtii.
Animals common to the Park include, Buffalo, Kob,
Warthog, Aardvark and Baboon. Threatened species
of animals, which with adequate protection may recover,
include Lion, Elephant, Bongo, Reedbuck and Hartebeest,
which may recolonise the Park from the adjacent
Fazao National Park in Togo. Tourist infrastructures
are vigorously being developed in Fazaso. Kyabobo
will be an attraction from Fazao.
The Park is about 400km from Accra but it is not
open to tourist. However with its rich fauna and
scenic beauty it is going to add to the tourism
potentials of the Volta Region when it is developed.
