Guinean Jungle

This stretch of Upper Guinean forest lies near the Cavally River and the forests of Taï. Tall trees and dense undergrowth shelter pygmy hippopotamuses, forest elephants and several kinds of monkey, including the Diana monkey. The Cavally flows southwards towards the Atlantic, while its tributaries cut through the wooded country. Farther east, the Sassandra marks the other side of the Taï forest region.
