The Bandia Reserve is a small nature reserve in Senegal , located 65 km from Dakar. The area of this reserve is 3500 hectares and fully fenced. Created in 1990, Bandia is the first private reserve in Senegal. All the burial mounds of the Bandia forest were listed as Historic Monuments in 2003. Bandia is home to many mammals, deliberately reintroduced into the region. Among the animal species present in the park, we note in particular rhinos, giraffes, great antelopes, dama gazelles, Derby elk, buffaloes, patas monkeys, vervet monkeys, warthogs, antelopes, zebras, jackals, mongooses and hyenas.
Many thanks Luca and Raffaela!
