The Old Oyo National Park is one of the national parks of Nigeria, located across northern Oyo State and southern Kwara State, Nigeria.[1]
The park is 2,512 km2 of land in northern Oyo state, south west Nigeria, at latitude 8° 15’ and 9° 00’N and longitude 3° 35’ and 4° 42’ E.[2] The location has inevitably placed the park at a vantage position of abundance land area as well as diverse wildlife and cultural/historical settings.[3] Eleven local government areas out of which ten fall within Oyo State and one in Kwara State surrounds it.[4] The Administrative Head Office is located in Oyo, Isokun area along Oyo-Iseyin road, where necessary information and booking could be made.[5] The landscaping and organized space within the large yard has made the facility very endearing to the public.[1]
It is rich in plant and animal resources including buffaloes, bushbuck and a variety of birds. The park is easily accessible from southwestern and northwestern Nigeria.[6] The nearest cities and towns adjoining Old Oyo National Park include Saki, Iseyin, Igboho, Sepeteri, Tede, Kishi, and Igbeti, which have their own commercial and cultural attractions for tourism.[7]
