Assagny National Park, National park of 19400 hectares in Grand-Lahou, Ivory Coast.

The park consists of swamp areas dominated by mangroves, surrounded by moist forests and coastal savannas near the Bandama River and Ébrié Lagoon.

Established in 1981, the park received international recognition by becoming a Ramsar site in 1996 for the protection of aquatic birds.

Local communities participate in training programs focused on conservation and sustainable management of the park's natural resources.

The Campement Hotel, opened in 2019, offers three bungalows accessible via an eight-kilometer track from the eastern entrance.

Forest elephants, pygmy crocodiles, and four turtle species share this ecosystem where 162 bird species have been documented.
