The inconspicuous entrance to the park, just off the highway, does not give away what you will find past the gates. Around 5 minutes into the walk, completely surrounded by nature, the sound of the bustling city starts to fade away and you slowly adapt and take-in the sounds of nature, birds chirping and leaves rustling under the soft rain. My guide spoke no English and we had to make do with my (very) elementary French. He told me about some of the plant and tree species, but he was not a very chatty guy. I asked a few questions about the governor who once lived in the park -- his house nowadays is where the "museum" is located. It has a few monkey and crocodile skulls, an elephant skull, and some information on the park (only in French). If you want to visit it, you have to ask the guide, as he needs to get the key. Take comfortable shoes, as the shortest trail is 7km long (but it's fairly easy). People are allowed to have a picnic (and make a barbecue) in the park, and, if permission is given, you can also put up a tent for the night. There is a playground for the kids near the picnic area. Entry fee for non-ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) is 5000 CFA + 10000 CFA for the guide (optional), which I considered expensive. My guided tour took around an hour and a half, which I consider short, especially for the price paid, but do not regret going, as it was good way to spend the morning and take some time off from the bustling vibe of Abidjan. Mind that if you need to take a taxi there, it is virtually impossible to hail one at the entrance once you are finished, so I would suggest that you agree with your driver to wait for you.

My husband and I just went to the park this morning. We hired an “English guide” who spoke as little English as my French, but somehow we managed to communicate and it really didn’t matter that much. We had a relaxing and pleasant walk for two hours in the park. The serene atmosphere was like an oasis away from the hustle and bustle in the city.

Some tips and info: we paid CFA 5,000 per person (US citizens) for admission, and CFA 5,000 per hour for the guide.

I highly recommend that you wear closed footwear, such as sneakers. No need to wear hiking boots, and sandals would not be appropriate. The paths had many muddy puddles.

The hiking trails are mostly flat; some parts are wider than others. You still get your workout but mainly from sweating (because of the high humidity) not extraneous walking, lol.

When we exited the park, somehow our guide led us to a different location from the main gate. It’s called the South Exit. They were still building the ticket kiosk and we ended up being in the middle of a busy highway when we came out. It wasn’t easy to hail down a taxi. Had I known, I would’ve asked him to take us to the same entrance as the one we entered from. But this South Entrance may be completely finished when you visit.

In general, I would recommend this place for a half-day outing; however, more than likely you will need a long, cold shower right after your visit, so don’t plan on having a nice lunch at a fancy...

Très belle expérience dans l’ensemble, on a marché environ 6 à 7 km pour se rendre dans le parc du banco. Précision de taille , il n’y a absolument pas de réseau là-bas ni Orange ni MTN ni Moov donc pour ceux qui doivent être connectés ou qui doivent travailler faîtes attention à ça surtout si vous voulez avoir la connexion c’est à l’accueil donc vous serez obligé de faire des allers-retours avec les motos taxi qui sont au prix de 500 Fr. CFA. Vous pouvez également louer des vélos entre 3000 et 5 000 Fr. CFA. Mais ce n’est pas une obligation. Vous pouvez également marcher nous, on est parti là-bas pour une excursion pédestre donc on a payé à une agence qui s'est occupée de l'entrée on avait également un guide. Maintenant, je tenais à préciser quelque chose lors de notre promenade lors de notre marche, le guide nous a voulu nous faire prendre un raccourci et moi franchement de mon intuition était d'éviter ce raccourci avec des routes sinueuses et des côtes, j’ai renoncé à cette idée-là donc du coup j’ai suivi la route normale et bien heureusement mon intuition s'est vérifié finalement dans la forêt là-bas y a quelqu’un qui a piqué une crise qui est tombé. Bref plus de peur que de mal. Mais en tout cas fiez-vous toujours se fier à votre intuition surtout qu’il n’y a pas de réseau là-bas, un accident est vite arrivé et compliqué à gérer. Il faut maintenir et surtout faites très très très attention oui avoir l’esprit d’aventure mais dans la réserve, c’est ce que j’ai dit en fait pour cette partie-là en plus on est arrivé plus vite que eux qui ont pris un soi-disant raccourci mais en tout cas dans l’ensemble l’expérience était très très belle, le parc est vaste et il y a énormément d’affluence pour ceux qui n’aiment pas trop les bruits, la musique, vous n’allez pas aimer si vous partez là-bas, il faut vous attendre avoir du bruit parce que le parc est fréquenter c’est une ambiance à l’africaine, même si on pense que on va faire une parenthèse dans la forêt mais y a beaucoup de gens aussi qui s’ambiancent qui font la fête du bruit donc; il faudra que vous soyez prévenu sur ça. Mais le parc il est immense y a vraiment l’ambiance est bonne là-bas, il fait vraiment très chaud et humide là-bas donc il faut vraiment être prêt physiquement. En tout cas belle expérience à...
