Lacs d'Habitats, Lake system in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast.
The Lacs d'Habitats encompass multiple water bodies that provide essential nesting grounds and feeding areas for resident and migratory water birds in Yamoussoukro.
These lakes were created as part of Yamoussoukro's urban development plan, forming an integrated water management system for the city's infrastructure.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods on these lakes, passing down generational knowledge while sustaining the regional aquatic ecosystem.
Visitors can access the lakes year-round, with morning hours offering the best opportunities for bird watching and wildlife photography.
The lakes form part of a network of thirty natural and artificial water bodies that regulate Yamoussoukro's urban water system.
