Near Boali, the Mbali River drops across fractured rock. This close cascade scene follows the rough channels and bank vegetation in an actual photograph. Water and rock shape the view together, with foam tracing the route downhill.

savanna
Manovo-Gounda St Floris spans a transition between different ecological zones. Grassy plains in its north give way to savannas and gallery forests farther south, while the Manovo, Koumbala and Gounda river systems link habitats across the park. Its varied landforms provide a setting for studying environmental change.
