About

The Boucle du Baoulé National Park (French: Parc National de la Boucle du Baoulé) lies in western Mali, in Kayes Region and Koulikoro Region, set up in 1982. It covers an area of 25,330 km2 (9,780 sq mi) but has little large wildlife. The park is known for its prehistoric rock art and tombs. It is part of the UNESCO Boucle du Baoulé Biosphere Reserve, along with Badinko Faunal Reserve to the southwest, Fina Faunal Reserve to the south, and Kongossambougou Faunal Reserve to the northeast.
