Before the 2013 Boko Haram Crisis, Waza Park was known as a peaceful anchorage, buzzing so many tourists and visitors from the National territory. It was even known to be the best place for research and survey, confessed Peter Robertson, former WWF Conservation Pilot. The small town of Waza often described as the best place for holidays was deserted in May 2014 when Boko Haram Militants attacked, killed a Cameroonian Soldier guarding the place and abducted 10 Chinese expatriates. The Park and the Waza village were absorbed by general panic and ?the walls of the hotels were crumbling and guest bedrooms remained stubbornly empty?.

As a response to the attacks, Paul Biya, the President of Cameroon sent 1,000 soldiers to patrol and guard the 1,700 square kilometers Park. The Yaounde authorities, the Members states of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC), The UN, The African Union and Nigeria have decided this story must be history in the next coming days. On Saturday the 7th of February, 2015, Nigeria and its four bordering countries of the LCBC agreed to send 8,750 troops to fight Boko Haram. The African Union which had earlier pledged 7,500 increased the Number to 8,500 and also said they were going to ensure financial support. The UN promised logistics support to the mission. Details released after a 3 days meeting on deployment plan to fight Boko Haram in Yaounde. An estimated 5, 1750 soldiers are expected to clean the Boko Haram mess soon in the borders between Cameroon and Nigeria.

But before they do so, some experts and scientists have lately been working in the park.  A study to measure the amount of edible plants available to elephants recently saw Scientists from the University of Dschang, Concordia University, World Wildlife Fund, and the North Carolina Zoological Park working at the Park. 

Reports say calm have returned to the dry, Green and elephant Safari Waza Park. The home of 5000 Kop Antelopes, 450 Elephant Populations,  21 Lions, 30 Mamal species, The red fronted Gazelle, and 379 species of birds? can stay now  in peace.
