Comoé National Park, National park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in northeastern Ivory Coast.

The park spans 11,500 square kilometers with diverse ecosystems including savannas, gallery forests, and riparian grasslands supporting numerous wildlife species.

The territory received protection status in 1926 as Refuge Nord de la Côte d'Ivoire before its designation as a national park on February 9, 1968.

Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices and knowledge that contribute to the conservation of natural resources within the protected area.

Access to the park requires prior authorization from December 15 to May 31, with guided tours available through the Office Ivoirien des Parcs et Réserves.

The Comoé River flows through 230 kilometers of the park, creating permanent and seasonal water bodies that sustain various ecological systems.
