Tribal arts, vibrant reggae, Afrobeat and traditional folk-music scenes, and delicious Ivorian food are all covered, as are hotels, the extraordinary mud mosques of Kong and the far north, Drummologie and ''talking drums'', football (the 2023 Africa Nations Cup will be held here), and unprecedented pricing and timetabling information for the full range of transport options.Having only recently re-opened for tourism, Ivory Coast is West Africa''s hidden treasure. Packed with vivid descriptions, detailed maps and essential practical advice, Bradt''s Ivory Coast is the ideal companion for a perfect trip, whatever your interest. |
