Ivory Coast Tours & holidays
Ivory Coast tours reveal one of West Africa’s richest cultures, where royal courts, trance ceremonies and ancestral mask dances still shape daily life. Few places reward curiosity quite like this.
Ivory Coast remained off most travel routes for decades, helping preserve its cultural traditions across diverse ethnic groups, from Akan kingdoms and Senufo villages to Dan forest communities and Atlantic coastal towns. The influence of ancient kingdoms and colonial history still shapes everyday life, especially beyond Abidjan.
Our Ivory Coast tour packages take you from Abidjan’s modern skyline to Yamoussoukro’s Basilica, Korhogo’s craftspeople, Man’s forest landscapes and Grand Bassam’s colonial heritage. Designed as small group Ivory Coast tours, each journey allows time to experience local culture, village life and traditions at a relaxed pace, with tailor-made options available for a more personal itinerary.

Undiscovered Destinations creates thoughtfully designed Ivory Coast tours that go beyond the usual highlights, combining iconic sights with rewarding lesser-known experiences. From the colonial heart of Abidjan and Yamoussoukro’s grand Basilica to the Senufo crafts and ironworks around Korhogo and the masked dances of the Dan around Man, our route follows the country’s living cultural seams rather than its capital alone.
Our Ivory Coast holidays are operated in small groups, allowing for a more personal and flexible experience with expert local guidance throughout. For travellers drawn to deep cultural immersion, royal traditions and tribal arts, our small group guided tours offer the right rhythm of village time, drives across the savannah and quiet evenings in the country’s colonial-era towns. Private and tailor-made options are also available.

From exploring the vibrant cultures of West Africa to uncovering hidden gems in the Caribbean, our carefully curated tours offer unforgettable adventures off the beaten path.
A wonderful opportunity to explore and experience a string of Caribbean islands. Although the pace of the trip was fast, we still managed to see behind the glitz and glamour of the holiday industry and get to grips with local history and culture.

Simply amazing!
Most British, US, Australian and many other international travellers need a visa to enter Côte d’Ivoire. In most cases, this is applied for as an eVisa online before travel. On arrival at Abidjan Port Bouet Airport, travellers must present an approved visa confirmation, a valid passport and a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Visa requirements can change, so it is recommended to check the latest guidance with the relevant embassy before departure. We can also provide supporting documents, such as a letter of invitation, once your booking is confirmed and final payment has been made.
