    Yankari is a beautiful place to spend a couple of days. Wikki warm springs provide a nice relaxing atmosphere with clean water. The accommodations look very nice but not kept up very well. Our room had an AC that was pumping out warm air and a toilet that needed to be repaired twice. The door handles came off too. But the staff are very nice and couteous and always willing to help out. Beware of the area boys (the baboons). They can strike at any time. Make sure you lock your car door and your room doors. Even so, we always enjoy our time at Yankari.

    All roads lead to Yankari Game Reserve, in Bauchi State, North-Eastern Nigeria. Get ready to experience nature in the country’s biggest wildlife retreat. At the reserve, you will be captivated by the number of activities you can participate in. Marvel at the largest herd of elephants in the country, embark on a guided safari tour and explore the tropical forests. At the Reserve,  you’ll find different varieties of animal species including the olive baboon, patas monkey, roan antelope, western hartebeest, living in their natural habitats. After your day at the reserve, exploring the marvel of wildlife, head over to the Wikki Warm Spring.  Your visit to the Yankari Game Reserve is incomplete if you don’t experience the warmth of this spring.

    Good facilities but poor maintenance. Thus service is also poor irrespective of the few individual staff who try to provide good service. People who love nature would love Yankari....from the baboons to the warm spring. But be aware that you may hardly find any other wildlife except the antelope family depending on the time and season. Also go in a group, this greatly helped my friends and I to overcome the boredom...they made it fun.

    New management needs to keep a keen eye on the safari trucks and kitchen. Tour guides need radios to call in issues. Depending on cellphones is so unreliable for what I experienced on the safari.

    Though visitation during the rainy season will expose a guest to few game bcos the animals have abundance of food &water within their isolated territories but its really an amazing place to be. The warm spring is one of a kind. One is bound to appreciate nature in Yankari

    Pros: serene environment, nice affordable rooms, a warm spring. Cons: only 5hrs of electricity (7pm - 12pm), inadequate food, very boring safari, no room service, no lifeguard at the springs.

    First time visit! Wikki Warm spring is highlight of visit. Safari/game viewing is a bit of a letdown. Wildlife sighting is not frequent, tells much about the dwindling wildlife population. Poaching is very prevalent in the reserve. 3 poachers caught a day prior to my visit, while a ranger was shot in the process. Rogue gunshots heard during game viewing in a hide. Poacher footprints seen while tracking hippos. Rangers are poorly equipped and remunerated. More needs to be done for them. Restaurant is poorly managed. Meals are not readily available.

Marvel at the largest herd of elephants in the country, embark on a guided safari tour and explore the tropical forests. At the Reserve, you’ll find different varieties of animal species

    Yankari is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in Nigeria. A lot of the endangered species of animals scarcely found anywhere in the country are actually still in existence at Yankari National Park. You will get to see some animals you never dreamed were even in existence. The wonderful thing about the entire story is the way these animals are kept and taken care of in large numbers like they’ve never been wild animals. This is just a tip of the iceberg; don’t stay back, you need to see for yourself.

    Nice and Great ambience and place , except there are lots of baboon roaming the environment which makes it more nature filled . However do not hold nylons with content in it freely as the baboons might come to you for their share of the content. Nice and natural wiki warm spring too, plus the museum is dope too. Gate fee of #1500 per head and #500 for coppers ....... and also #500 for wiki warm spring entry , #300 for coppers . However the safari is nice too , the tour vehicle is #6000 and can take as much as 10 persons but it’s advisable not to go during rainy season but best bet is dry season as the animals will be out to drink from just 1 well by then and they can also do controlled burning so you can see the animals . The restaurant is not bad , a plate of spaghetti and chicken or semo and chicken sells for #1000 and Pepsi for #200 . So go prepared ! #Etiemelo?!

    Wikki Warm Spring is a natural water body designed as a swimming pool. The source of the water is from beneath a rock which makes it crystal clear. The water is also warm which is always appropriate for swimming all year round.

    It’s one of the few places in Nigeria that is just perfect! The water is so beautiful and the space looks great. It could look a lot better if the government was so invested in it but it’s not half bad as it is right now. I had a blast here and hopefully I’ll be back soon.
