Ecotourism Ta\u00ef invites you to experience the nature and culture of the western Ivory Coast. The Ta\u00ef National Park will amaze you with its\u00a0exceptional biodiversity<\/a>\u00a0and its wild unique chimpanzees. This natural jewel of the Ivory Coast includes 5364 km\u00b2 of primary tropical rainforest and constitutes by far the largest remaining of rainforest in West Africa. It is unsurprising that the park was inscribed to the Biosphere Reserve Network in 1978 and to the World Heritage List in 1981 by UNESCO.<\/p>\n The fauna and flora are highly diverse and many species are endemic to West Africa. It is one of the rare places where you can encounter such a diversity of primates<\/a>. Thanks to our habituation programme and the knowledge of our ecoguides, you have the chance to encounter western\u00a0chimpanzees<\/a>, sooty mangabeys and red colobus monkeys<\/a>, that our ecoguides have been following for more than 5 years. This is a unique and special experience for our visitors.<\/p>\n During the visits, nature conservation is one of our priorities. Our ecoguides, who have lived in the area from their birth onwards, will guide you through the tropical rainforest on a specific track, showing you the beauty of the area, with unique animals, with security and care.Conservation, a key word<\/span><\/h2>\n
\nEcotourism is an essential element of our conservation activities as it supports local people by improving their livelihoods while diversifying their source of income, thus helping to combat deforestation and ensuring survival of the primary tropical rainforest.
\nOur project leads local communities to be proud of their culture<\/a> and the youths to rediscover their own heritage. Indeed, you will have the beautiful opportunity to immerse yourself in the heart of Goul\u00e9ako 1 village, a couple of minutes away from the park.<\/p>\n
