The reserve that you will be hunting on is a
new kind of hunting experience in West Africa. This is because
all the land you will be hunting is part of an association called
the AGEREF (L'Association inter- villageoise de Gestion des Ressources
Naturelles et de la Faune de la Comoe Leraba). This association
is made up of seventeen villages that surround the reserve. The
people formed this association to work on conserving their lands
and using them to benefit the villages financially. Without efforts
like this one the wildlife and habitat in Burkina is disappearing.
The 17 villages in the association all have representation in
a council and take part in all decisions affecting the Comoe
Leraba Reserve. The reserve receives no hunting pressure other
than the limited number of clients we will bring in during the
season. You will have access to the whole 483 square miles of
pristine hunting habitat. Not only will you partake in a world-class
African safari but you will be directly aiding in the conservation
of the flora and fauna, and helping the villages benefit from
the land. |

The hunting reserve is located in south western Burkina Faso 328 miles from the capital city of Ouagadougou. It is located in the Comoe province and borders on Burkina's southern neighbor Ivory Coast. The hunting reserve is made up of 125,000 hectares/483 square miles and has two major rivers running through it, the Comoe and the Leraba. The Comoe River runs north and south through the eastern end of the reserve. The Leraba makes up the entire southern border of the reserve and flows to meet the Comoe. These two rivers are a permanent source of water and help make up habitat that sustains a variety of game species. The rivers contain many fish species including the Nile Perch (Capitaine) which have been caught up to 100 pounds. |
