Comoé

in

Comoé is one of West Africa’s largest protected areas, covering savanna, woodland and river habitats in the north-east of Côte d’Ivoire. Seasonal waterways and forest strips create unusual ecological variety, supporting elephants, buffalo, several antelope species and a rich bird population. Infrastructure is limited, and wildlife is spread across a very large area.

Visits require specialist planning, local guidance and patience rather than expectations of dense safari sightings. Roads can be difficult, especially after rain, and services are basic. The main value lies in the scale and relative wildness of the landscape, where long drives pass through changing habitats with few signs of development.
