HOW TO GET TO THE PARK

​

The PNC, with its 1,149,150 ha, straddles 6 departments (Bouna, Téhini, Doropo, Kong, Dabakala, and Nassian). As a result, several access options are available to visitors. These cities are served by air and land.

 

Several land transport companies shuttle between these cities and the Ivorian capitals. The airfields of Bouna, Kafolo, Ouango-fitini, and Ferké allow access by private flights since the national airline has not yet fully deployed its services there to date (2017).

 

The three entrances to the PNC, are the South entrance to Kakpin (Nassian department), the East entrance to Bania (Bouna department), and the North-West entrance to Kafolo (Kong department), which are accessible by road depending on distances and travel times.
