Getting to Ranch de Nazinga Game Ranch, Burkina Faso
I've been dying to see some big wildlife here in west Africa and in Burkina Faso I've finally started to get my chance. First I spotted the hippos in west of the country, now in the south of Burkina Faso I'm heading to a place called Ranch de Nazinga which is home to a very high concentration of African Elephants. Now, in this episode I make my way towards Ranch de Nazinga but have a hard time getting in on my scooter since the park is full of elephants and the guards don't think it's safe for me. Eventually, I hire a 4x4 to go through the ranch and after spotting some crocodiles and plenty of elephant activity I head to bed. Be sure to check out tomorrow's episode where I get up close and personal with some of the great elephants of Ranch de Nazinga in southern Burkina Faso.

The Elephants of Ranch de Nazinga, Burkina Faso
Elephants! Long at last, I've come across elephants in Africa! Yesterday I arrived here at Ranch de Nazinga in southern Burkina Faso and was warned that there was high elephant activity and that I couldn't drive my scooter through the park. Thus, I ended up hiring a 4x4 through the park today. To my luck, we ran into baboons, antelope, and yes even elephants. Actually, 27 elephants to exact. It really was an incredible day.
You can read about my elephant encounter in this blog post:
From Ranch de Nazinga I finally left Burkina Faso and headed to the country of Ghana where I'll be spending the next month or so!

A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of wild nature for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined National Park as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people, Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a national park in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. Some would say that the first official national park to be designated as such at its creation was Mackinac Island, legislated in 1875. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.
The largest national park in the world meeting the IUCN definition is the Northeast Greenland National Park, which was established in 1974. According to the IUCN, 6,555 national parks worldwide met its criteria in 2006. IUCN is still discussing the parameters of defining a national park.
National parks are almost always open to visitors. Most national parks provide outdoor recreation and camping opportunities as well as classes designed to educate the public on the importance of conservation and the natural wonders of the land in which the national park is located.
