- Banco National Park - as you would expect wildlife here, on the contrary, this 7,400 acres of land is reserved for indigenous trees which are almost extinct. The entire preserve is a collection of different plants, flowers and woodland.
- Tai National Park -Tai is a little like Banco in that it is home to floras and faunas. However, it also houses a number of mammals which are under threat of extinction. This park has been credited as a World Heritage by UNESCO.
- Mount Nimba - this is by far one of the largest reserve you will ever see in Africa. It stretches around three countries, namely Cote d’Ivoire, Liberia and Guinea. You can drive here in your car rental and find out how far you can hike through the mountains as your view of the scenery becomes better and better.
- Grand Basama - just outside the city is the town of Grand Basam which historically was the capital city when the French colonized Cote D’Ivoire.
