A community-run stretch of the Black Volta where you canoe quietly past hippos and riverside birdlife.

Early morning and late afternoon are best for hippo sightings; keep quiet and let the guide set the distance.
Check before leaving
Arrange the canoe and guide through the sanctuary office in advance and confirm river levels.
