5B AFRICA TOUR: CÔTE D'IVOIRE - GRAND BASSAM TOUR & NZIMA KING REFELCTION

Nick has made his way to Grand-Bassam, a coastal city with history in its walls, salt in the air, and the kind of old-world charm that immediately tells you: this place has seen things. Grand-Bassam brings a different kind of rhythm. Slower. More ceremonial. More reflective. The kind of place where you don’t just arrive, you are received. Formally introduced and welcomed at the Mayor’s office, which is a beautiful way to open this leg of the tour. Because before you can tell the story of a place, it helps to be welcomed into it properly. This is one of Côte d’Ivoire’s most historic cities. Nick moves through the old heart of Grand-Bassam, through streets and spaces that carry the weight of history. There’s the coastal texture, the old administrative feel, the heritage architecture, and then a deeper cultural layer: the Nzima people and the traditional authority connected to the city.

5B AFRICA TOUR DAY 01 (11 MAY 26)

Good morning from Côte d’Ivoire, where the air is warm, the streets are wide awake, and Abidjan immediately makes one thing very clear: this city has main character energy.  And naturally, the first proper cultural stop had to be the most important research fa- cility in any city: the street food. We move from the streets of Abidjan to the soil of San Pedro. Côte d’Ivoire is the world’s biggest cocoa producer so we also visited a cocoa farm.
