Yankari Game Reserve, located in Bauchi State, was initially designated as Nigeria's largest national park when it was upgraded from a game reserve in 1991. However, it later reverted to state control, reflecting changes in its administrative status. The reserve is renowned for its diverse wildlife and natural hot springs, making it a significant attraction for both local and international tourists. Yankari continues to play a vital role in conservation efforts and the promotion of eco-tourism in Nigeria.
