Kainji Lake
[3] The Kainji Dam is situated in the Northern region of Niger State and generates power for most towns in Nigeria.[6] Together with a smaller dam for a minor stream, it is 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) long and 65 metres (213 ft) high in the middle.[9] Kainji Lake National Park (KNLP) (headquarters Wawa) is situated 560 kilometres (350 mi) north of Lagos, close to the border with the Republic of Benin.[11] The abundant wildlife in the game preserves include baboons, duikers, hippopotami, hyenas, kobs, roan antelopes, and warthogs.The vegetation of the park is typical of the Guinean forest-savanna mosaic, although in some areas it appears more Sahelian.
