CAMPEMENT DU LION

Located a little further east of Simenti, in Bafoulabe, on the banks of the river. The site has been taken over by the G.I.E. des Guides du Niokolo Koba and is managed by Abdoulaye Kante, a tourist guide. The camp is gradually being renovated and now boasts solar power. The ventilated huts, built from local materials, are simple and equipped with mosquito nets. You're in the perfect place to observe the animals and, if you're lucky, maybe the lions. The welcome is very friendly, the meals are copious and the staff are extremely helpful.
