Don't despair on the road coming from Ghedir Rebaia towards the entrance of Bouhedma National Park; it's always straight ahead until your path curves to the left: the main entrance to the park is straight ahead. Just avoid the ostrich nests in the asphalt.

Once you arrive there, the admission principle is the same as at the Ichkeul Lake National Park: you wait patiently for someone to arrive, this person arrives, asks you if you have official authorization to enter (which you have to get on the other side of Jebel Bouhedma, an hour's drive away), they phone for a long time and finally tell you that you can enter for half an hour until the administrative center of the park (10 dinars after negotiation). There, another ranger opened the door to the ecomuseum and commented on what is on display, including a timeline that explains the genesis of the creation of the park. It's incredible the energy that it takes to create a natural park and maintain it in this state; it wasn't built in a day !

Don't forget your passport, the ranger asked for mine when leaving the ecomuseum.

I find out that the trees in the savannah surrounding us are acacias (Acacia subs. raddiana) and that unfortunately, this park is one of the last refuges of this type of wooded steppe in North Africa.

Despite its reintroduction in 1986, according to the ranger, the last oryx in the park is the one stuffed in the ecomuseum: its population, which had initially increased considerably, suddenly and completely declined, and we don't know why.

The addax has disappeared too, the ostriches too, in short, apart from Homo Sapiens there are not many people left in the park, but hey, it must be admitted: the landscape is splendid and the tranquility absolute!

As for animals, you have to be content with curious grey shrikes that come to see what you are eating in the early morning.

Note that Bouhedma National Park has also been a biosphere reserve since 1977.
