Bouaké

By train

There are a few trains each day from Abidjan on their way to Ouagadougou and back but timetabling is pretty hit and miss, although the southbound train often arrives about 04:00.

By car

It takes 1.5 hours from Yamoussoukro. The road has deep potholes so care is needed. It would be wise not to try it at night because of the potholes.
