Excursion Plateau and bingerville botanical gardens tour at Abidjan

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Enjoy a half-day discovering the cityscapes of the Plateau, with interesting sights in between. Begin your morning with a visit to the Plateau area, known as the small Manhattan of the Ivory Coast. Visit Cathedral Saint Paul, which as it is situated on one of the higher vantage points in the area, offers a great panoramic view of the city.


From the Plateau region, make your way to the Bingerville Gardens.


At Bingerville Botanical Garden, discover plants, insects, reptiles, and small mammals native to Ivory Coast. This small garden, dating back to the colonial era, offers a tranquil brake from the city hustle. Stroll down the shady paths meandering through the creaking bamboo clumps to observe different species of trees and flowers.


Attend a tree planting ceremony inside the gardens - and see first hand the difference your visit makes here.
