Banco National Park

Reviewed By JasonLux2013 - Bettembourg, Luxembourg

It went well. We met the guide at the offical entrance to the Park on the south side, close to Ajami, The tour involved about 4Km walk down quite a wide path, Highlights were: the "off path" diversion tramping thru +/- 400 metres of untouched forest, feeding a large shoal of giant sized "cat fish" with Baguettes, seeing some enormous trees. listening to the birds aand sounds of the forest. Guide was good, informed and interested in the forest etc. Our car and driver were wating for us at the "school facility" located 4Km inside the forest, we drive out from there. Small fee to access the Park, 5,000 CFA for Europeans, 1,000 CFA for locals. Paid guide a further 10k CFA. no food or electricity avaibale in the forest.

Musee des Civilisations de Cote d’Ivoire

Reviewed By evelynegomis

A truly hidden gem in the heart of Abidjan CBD, not advertised enough. The place has been refreshed, its main exhibits reorganised for consistency. The place is easy to locate near the military armed forces head office (Camp Galieni) and the administrative state tower buildings. The beautiful external architecture represents an Akan royal court surrounded by gorgeous centennial trees. The exhibit area is clean and air conditioned, the staff and guides welcoming and filled with great knowledge about the items and exhibits. The museum has a restaurant and a library. The management is projecting on opening a gift shop.
