Canoe trips to see wild hippos on the Black Volta, run by local communities.

About Wechiau Community Hippo Sanctuary

Along the Black Volta, on the border with Burkina Faso, local communities protect a population of hippos. Guided canoe trips glide along the river for close but respectful views, and there are also many birds. A simple lodge allows an overnight stay to be on the river at dawn.
