Akwaba to Cote d’Ivoire 2025

Aug 30 – Sep 8 2025
9 Days/8 Nights Introduction to Cote d’Ivoire
Abidjan, Yamoussoukro, and Grand Bassam

I’m thrilled to invite you on an unforgettable journey: “Akwaba to Côte d’Ivoire”—Kodoh Voyages’ debut trip to my homeland!

Côte d’Ivoire (also known as Ivory Coast) is a gem in West Africa, known for its rich cultural traditions, vibrant music, breathtaking landscapes and the warmth and hospitality of its people.

“Akwaba” (ah–qua–bah) means “Welcome” in Baoulé, one of the many local languages.

Our Akwaba experience is designed to immerse you in the best of Côte d’Ivoire—from the bustling energy of Abidjan, to the grandeur of Yamoussoukro’s Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, to the serene beaches of Grand-Bassam, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

This trip is more than a vacation—it’s your chance to immerse yourself in Côte d’Ivoire’s vibrant culture, soak up its famous joie de vivre, and discover what makes this country so special.

Grab your favorite travel buddy, pack your bags, and join us for this extraordinary adventure.

See you in Côte d’Ivoire!

Founder & CEO, Kodoh Voyages

Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse. Trip insurance is therefore recommended. For your convenience, Kodoh Voyages offer Trip Insurance with Faye during the booking process. You can also purchase travel insurance on your own.

Traveling abroad requires a passport valid for six months beyond travel dates. For this tour, your passport should not expire before March 8, 2026.

All prices are based on the rates of exchange in effect at the time of price quotation. In the event that the US dollar devalues, Akacia Consulting d/b/a Kodoh Voyages reserves the right to increase prices accordingly. Your final invoice will reflect increases resulting from currency devaluation.

If you select the LAND ONLY PACKAGE during booking, you are required to make your own flight arrangements and airport transfers. When making your own flight arrangements, you must pay close attention to dates and plan your flight and airport transfer accordingly.

You should schedule your flight to ARRIVE in Cote d’Ivoire for hotel check-in on Aug 31, 2025. This means many of you must fly out of the United States on August 30, 2025.
