Listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981, Taï National Park is one of Côte d'Ivoire's natural gems. Covering an area of 5,364 km², it is one of the largest remnants of primary tropical forest in West Africa.

It lies in the west of Côte d'Ivoire, between the towns of Taï and Soubré, around 7 hours' drive from Abidjan. 

More than 200 species of plants, as well as a large number of birds and mammals, are specific to the region, including the pygmy hippopotamus and the Jentink duiker.

The park is also renowned for its diversity of primates, including mangabeys, red colobus monkeys and one of the largest chimpanzee populations in West Africa.

In 2010, the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation (WCF) took over the project from the Office Ivoirien des Parcs et Réserves (OIPR) and the people of Taï, represented by their mayor. 

An innovative ecotourism project, Eco tourisme Tai, focused on respect for nature and local culture has been launched, covering the northern part of the Park, to contribute to the protection of the Park and the sustainable development of the region, while enabling local communities to benefit.

On the program: 

• Hike to the camp in the heart of the primary forest. 
• Discovery of the forest's great trees on an ethnobotanical tour. 
• Observation of mangabeys and red doves in the forest. 
• Discover Guéré culture through an authentic traditional dance performance and village immersion.
