One of Africa's oldest parks protecting critical savanna ecosystems and endangered wildlife in northeastern DRC

Garamba National Park

Garamba National Park is a vast protected area spanning nearly 5,200 square kilometers in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Established in 1938, it ranks among Africa's oldest national parks and holds the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site designated in 1980 for its exceptional biodiversity value. The park occupies a strategic position in the transition zone between two major biogeographic regions, the Guinea-Congolian and Guinean-Sudanese savanna ecosystems, creating a unique ecological corridor that supports remarkable wildlife diversity. Garamba is globally significant as the former stronghold of the northern white rhinoceros and continues to shelter the DRC's last remaining giraffe population, along with substantial elephant herds and diverse megafauna. The park has faced significant conservation challenges including poaching pressures, regional conflict, and wildlife trafficking, but remains a critical sanctuary for Africa's endangered species.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate

Estimated between the mapped locations of both parks.
