If you are looking for a change in the things to do in Abidjan, Parc du Banco is definitely the place to be. You cannot visit Abidjan without stopping here. It is located close to the heart of the city, Banco park covered an area of approximately 3400 hectares with at least 600 hectares of primary forest. It is the second of its type after Tijuca park in Brazil.
It's called the lung of Abidjan because of its primordial actions on the climate.
There are some interesting wild birds and monkeys in the forest and a small group of chimpanzees. There are lots of majestic trees and the guides are there to tell their stories.
The Park is well preserved, the top destination for tourists, It has pleasant walking trails, however, the shortest trail is 2km so if you are not so good at walking like me, there is an option to rent a bike. I highly recommend this place for nature lovers. The entrance fee is 5,000 CFA for foreigners and 1,000 CFA for locals.
