Explore Live Cams in Côte d'Ivoire

Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) lies on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, covering about 124,500 square miles (322,463 km²). Sandy beaches and lagoons line the south coast, tropical rainforest covers the southwest, and the land rises gently into open savanna and woodland in the north, with mountains along the western border.

Its best-known natural treasure is Taï National Park, one of the last large areas of untouched rainforest in West Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the northeast, Comoé National Park is one of the largest protected areas in the region. The elephant is the national symbol, and it gave the country its name through the old ivory trade.

Taï is home to chimpanzees, rare pygmy hippos, forest elephants and many kinds of colorful monkeys and duikers, while hippos, lions and antelope roam the savannas of Comoé. The country is also the world's biggest grower of cocoa, and Yamoussoukro's huge domed basilica is one of the largest churches on Earth.

Did You Know? Chimpanzees in the Taï forest crack nuts with stone hammers, and archaeologists have dug up chimp stone tools here that are about 4,300 years old.
