Lobéké National Park

Lobéké National Park is a national park in southeastern Cameroon, located within the Congo Basin along the border with the Central African Republic and the Republic of the Congo. Established in October 1999, it covers approximately 2,178 square kilometres (841 sq mi) of tropical rainforest and forms

part of the Sangha Trinational, a transboundary conservation complex shared with Dzanga-Ndoki National Park in the Central African Republic and Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of the Congo. The Sangha Trinational was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012. The park is internationally recognised for its extensive Congo Basin rainforest, large populations of African forest elephants and western lowland gorillas, and its network of mineral-rich forest clearings known as bais, which attract a remarkable diversity of wildlife.
