Bouaké
Bouaké is the second-largest city in Ivory Coast, with a population of 740,000.
It is the seat of three levels of subdivision—Vallée du Bandama District, Gbêkê Region, and Bouaké Department. The city is located in the central part of Ivory Coast about 50 kilometres (31 mi) northeast of Lake Kossou, the country's largest lake. It is approximately 350 kilometres (220 mi) north of Abidjan on the Abidjan-Niger Railway and about 100 kilometres (62 mi) northeast of Yamoussoukro, the capital of the country.
Getting to Bouaké
There are a few trains each week from Abidjan on their way to Ouagadougou and back but timetabling is pretty hit and miss.

The road has deep potholes so care is needed.
