A mosaic of rich, diverse vegetation, primary forest, cacao, rubber and papaya plants..
Half an hour from Abidjan, Domaine Bini is planted with primary forest, cacao, rubber, papaya and other plants. Living on site according to the biotope system, founder Jean-Marc Bini, his family and his team make the most of Mother Nature's generosity and the ingenuity of a naturally ecological African tradition. After a warm welcome with a gourd filled with bandji (palm wine) or coconut milk, guides take you on an educational walk through the estate, introducing you to the little secrets of the surrounding ecosystem: how coconut trees grow; why rubber trees are leaning; the cocoa circuit, from pod to chocolate; subsistence farming through the fields of manioc, eggplants and others dotted around the plot, etc., etc. Back to the camp for a locavore buffet lunch featuring ingredients produced by local villagers, who are also involved in the project, and eaten in attiéké or banana leaves. On the menu: wood-fired braised chicken, allocos and sweet potato fries, stewed fish, and one of the region's best foufous with vegetable sauce. Drinks include bandji, coconut milk and the dreaded koutoukou. A digestive siesta is possible in the hammocks under the trees, or with a nature spa, a relaxing massage with a bath of pure white, green or pink clay. Rinsing takes place in a stream near the spa, and if you'd like an invigorating boost after this relaxing interlude, try out a 70 m-long zip line perched 10 m off the ground! For the less adventurous: traditional board games such as awalé or ludo, mountain bike rides, mud volleyball (be careful, it's slippery!), slingshot shooting, birdwatching...
The Immersion package with an overnight stay includes themed versions, including a nighttime tour of the surrounding villages, campfire, candlelit dinner, storytelling activities, traditional dances to the sound of the tam-tam or a starlit evening. As for the overnight stay in the eco-village, you can choose between large Canadian tents or adorable huts on stilts with mosquito net walls, always as close as possible to nature and its breath. An experience not to be missed! Ideal for couples or families who want to recharge their batteries in the heart of nature.

Idéal pour changer d’air
They insisted we wait until other guests arrive before we could go for the hike. We waited till 12:30... it was quite inconvenient. The hike itself was enlightening and wonderful. Our tour guide was great too! Very knowledgeable and polite.
After the hike, we got back to the main camp for lunch, only to find at least 5 other groups who had only come for the food.
Logically, those who arrived before should have been served their lunch first but it was some sort of all you can eat buffet and the other guests literally pushed and kicked their way to the food as soon as it was placed on the tables. We had to wait till everyone had eaten before getting food.
After the lunch, we were meant to finally enjoy the clay bath. What a disappointment. It was a small pool full of clay but only a handful of people could fit in it. Of course the children were already in and there was no room for anyone else.
Finally, I must admit that the staff were really polite and accommodating, except for one elderly man who was drunk since morning and low-key racist. Constantly making some racially oriented comments which made us feel really uncomfortable. He even asked us for more money before we left and asked us if in our culture we don't give money to our uncles when we visit the village... I was quite upset at that comment.
I definitely wouldn't go back. Not worth 15000 per person...
Déjeuner au top, pour tous les goûts. Bain d'argile pour ceux qui veulent... Bon rapport qualité/prix
The best at Abidjan and around
