West Africa's last great primary rainforest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Taï National Park

Taï National Park is a national park in southwestern Ivory Coast that contains one of the last remaining areas of primary rainforest in West Africa. Established in 1972 and covering approximately 3,300 square kilometers, the park occupies a strategic position on the border with Liberia between the Cavalla and Sassandra rivers, roughly 100 kilometers from the Ivorian coast. The park was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 in recognition of its exceptional biodiversity and as a UNESCO biosphere reserve since 1978. It represents the largest intact forest remaining in West Africa, forming part of the once-vast Upper Guinean rain forest that historically stretched across present-day Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea-Bissau. The park sits at elevations ranging from 80 to 396 meters at Mount Niénokoué, on a Precambrian granite peneplain characterized by gently undulating terrain.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate

Estimated between the mapped locations of both parks.
