Car
If you're traveling by car within Comoe National Park, head towards the main exit point of the park. From there, take the road heading south towards Adjarra. Follow this route for approximately 15 kilometers until you reach the outskirts of Adjarra. Look for signs indicating 'Black River Adjarra' as you approach the town. The site is situated near the riverbank, easily accessible from the main road. Ensure your vehicle is in good condition for the rural roads.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, start by taking a taxi-brousse (shared taxi) from Comoe National Park to the nearest town, which is usually Bouaflé. From Bouaflé, look for a taxi-brousse heading to Adjarra. Confirm with the driver that they will stop at the Black River Adjarra. The journey may take around 1-2 hours depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Adjarra, you may need to take a short moto-taxi (motorcycle taxi) to reach the riverbank area directly.
Walking
If you find yourself in the town of Adjarra, you can walk to Black River Adjarra by heading towards the river following local signs. The distance is manageable, approximately 2 kilometers from the center of Adjarra. Ask locals for directions if you're unsure; they are usually very helpful.
