West Africa Traveling to
Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast is a country of extremes; a land of pulsating metropolises and pristine rainforests, vast churches and verdant hills, fancy restaurants, and sprawling street stalls.
The New République de Côte d’Ivoire
The Ivory Coast is a nature lover's dream where visitors may wander along the beaches and enjoy the cool air of the weather. In addition, visitors may purchase souvenirs. Abidjan, the commercial hub, is a lively city where people enjoy a good time.
Beautiful panoramas, verdant national parks, quiet beaches, and deep rainforests abound in the country's countryside. Assinie and Grand Bassam beaches are both gorgeous and appealing, with Grand Bassam exhibiting rows of colonial mansions from several states and numerous residents wanting to take you on a canoe ride to observe the mangroves and unusual birds.

Top Attractions
Tai National Park
Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it contains the largest area of the primary tropical rainforest of Africa. It lies between the rivers Cavalry and Sassandra. The rich flora and fauna of the forest have a wide variety making it unique among animal lovers.
The park has a high rate of flora and fauna endemism. Indeed, more than 200 endemic plants in West Africa are found in the park. Moreover, 24 bird species and mammals, such as forest elephants, pangolins, pygmy hippos and Jentink duikers are special to the region.
Abidjan
Abidjan, known as "The Paris of West Africa," has a lot to offer visitors. It is one of Africa's greatest cities, full of life and color. Abidjan's bustling nightlife is complemented with art, beaches, shopping, cafés, restaurants, and nightclubs. Explore the National Art Museum, which highlights African culture and craftsmanship, shop in Treichville, go boating by the lagoons, wander along the beaches, and pay a visit to the famed St Paul's Cathedral.
Yamoussoukro
The city of 300,000 can appear to be a ghost town, with spacious boulevards and huge open spaces, glittering new (or at least relatively new) governmental buildings and high-rise hotels.
It's worth noting that it was only chosen as Ivory Coast's capital in 1983 - a pet project of President Houphout-Boigny, who was born here in 1908. Still, there are some remarkable sites, not the least of which is the massive Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, the world's biggest Christian cathedral, and a jumble of domes and columns that represents Rome's grandeur!
