Bui National Park
The Bui National Park is located in Ghana. It was established in 1971. This park spans 1,821 km. It is located in a typical woodland savanna zone. The reserve is notable for its large hippopotamus population in the Black Volta. The endangered black and white colobus monkey and a variety of antelopes and birds are also present. Part of the park has been inundated by the reservoir of the Bui Dam, which was constructed from 2007 to 2013.
