The Kamuku National Park is a Nigerian national park in Kaduna State,
Nigeria, with a total area of about 1,120 km². The park has a typical Sudanian Savanna ecology. The park is located in the west of Kaduna State, and is adjacent to the Kwiambana Game Reserve to the north west. It was established in 1936 as the Native Authority Forest Reserve of Birnin Gwari under the Northern Nigeria Government. It was upgraded from a state Game Reserve to a National Park in May 1999, in part due to the success of a community-based project promoting sustainable resource usage, managed by Savanna Conservation Nigeria, a national NGO. The Federal government has been seeking to partner with foreign investors to develop eco-tourism in this and other national parks.
The park has generally flat terrain, sloping gradually upwards to the Birnin Gwari Ridge along the eastern boundary. Natural features of interest include the Dogon Ruwa Waterfalls; the Goron Dutse, a large isolated inselberg with a smooth surface stratified in a pattern of black and white squares; and the Tsaunin Rema, a hill made of large boulders piled on top of each other, with a large population of Rock Hyraxes.
Mammals include elephants, Roan Antelopes, duikers, hartebeest, baboons, warthog, bushbuck, Patas monkeys, and green monkeys. There are at least 177 species of birds, including migrants and residents. The park is important for species such as the Secretary Bird (Sagittarius serpentarius), Denham's Bustard (Neotis denhami) and the Abyssinian Ground-hornbill (Bucorvus abyssinicus) which are rare in other parts of Nigeria.
