This new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt's Ivory Coast
remains the only English-language guidebook to focus solely on this
culturally rich West African country, a place of crimson savannas,
sublime mountains and cream-hued beaches that is becoming
increasingly popular for ecotourism and wildlife, surfing and
off-the-beaten track travel. Written in easy-to-navigate
geographical structure, chapters on background and practical
information are followed by dedicated sections on Abidjan and the
surrounding area; the southeast, including Grand-Bassam and
Assinie; the southwest, including Sassandra, San-Pedro and the Parc
National de Tai; and the centre: Yamoussoukro, Bouake, Daloa and
Abengourou. Moving up the country, the Dix-Huit Montagnes area is
covered, including Man and Touba, followed by a chapter on the
North, including Odienne, Korhogo, Kong, Parc National de la Comoe
and Bondoukou. From wildlife and birdwatching to hiking, trekking,
chocolate and twerking, Bradt's Ivory Coast lifts the lid on what
gives this country its unique flavour. Tribal arts, vibrant reggae,
Afrobeat and traditional folk-music scenes, and delicious Ivorian
food are all covered, as are hotels, the extraordinary mud mosques
of Kong and the far north, Drummologie and 'talking drums',
football (the 2023 Africa Nations Cup will be held here), and
unprecedented pricing and timetabling information for the full
range of transport options. Having only recently re-opened for
tourism, Ivory Coast is West Africa's hidden treasure. Packed with
vivid descriptions, detailed maps and essential practical advice,
Bradt's Ivory Coast is the ideal companion for a perfect trip,
whatever your interest.
