Mont Sângbé National Park, National park in northern Ivory Coast.
Mont Sângbé National Park is a protected area in northern Ivory Coast centered on the Monts du Toura mountain range with granitic peaks. The park encompasses different habitats including forests, valleys, and open woodland.
The park was established as a protected area in 1976 to preserve one of the country's significant natural regions. This designation came from recognition of the need to safeguard forest habitats and their wildlife.
Local people living near the park practice traditional ways of life that depend on careful use of the forest and mountains. Their knowledge of the land shapes how they interact with the surrounding nature.
The best time to visit is between November and March when the dry season makes hiking and animal viewing easier. During these months the trails are more accessible and wildlife encounters are more likely.
The park is home to a significant population of western chimpanzees living in the forested areas of the region. These primates are rarely seen by visitors but their presence makes the place an important refuge for the species.
