Comoé National Park

Comoé National Park is a large protected area in northeastern Ivory Coast with various landscapes including savannas, gallery forests, and grasslands near rivers. It is home to numerous animal and plant species that live in these different habitats.

The area first received protection in 1926 and later became an official national park in 1968. This growth in protection reflects the region's commitment to safeguarding its natural heritage.

People living near the park follow customs that show deep knowledge of the land and how to live alongside wildlife. This long-standing relationship shapes how the area is cared for today.

The park can be visited but requires planning ahead, especially during the dry season when access is easier. Guided tours are available to help you explore different areas safely.

A wide river runs through the park for many kilometers and creates different water bodies that change with the seasons. These waters are central to all life across the entire region.
