The Ankasa Conservation Area is an area in southwestern
Côte d'Ivoire.[1] It incorporates the Nini Suhien National Park[2] in the North, and the Ankasa Forest Reserve in the South.[3]
The park is approximately 500 square kilometers, and consists largely of tropical evergreen
Diana monkey,[8] and other primates. Apart from the forest reserve which was selectively logged until 1976, the rest of the protected area is almost intact.[5]
The park includes basic camping facilities with shelters, toilets, and running water along with many facilities for sitting down and having a chat.
