Getting There
-
Car
From Abidjan, take the northern highway towards Yamoussoukro, then follow the national road to Bouaflé, Daloa, and Duékoué until you reach Guiglo. From Guiglo, a three-hour drive on an unsealed bush road will lead you to Taï. Note that during the rainy season, the southern route is impassable, making the northern route essential. Car rentals in Abidjan range from 40,000 to 60,000 CFA per day, excluding fuel. A 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended.
-
Public Transport
From Abidjan, take a bus from the “Siporex” bus station at Yopougon (Apache Transport) or the new train station in Adjamé (TSF) to Guiglo. The fare is approximately 10,100 CFA. From Guiglo, local transport to Taï is available, but conditions can be harsh. Alternatively, from San Pedro, take local transport to Tabou, then a motorcycle taxi to Taï for around 30,000 CFA. Be sure to confirm departure times and ticket prices the day before your trip.
