5B AFRICA TOUR - CÔTE D'IVOIRE - AHMED SETS UP KORHOGO — CULTURE, FOOD AND THE NORTH (14 MAY 26) 1

The Côte d’Ivoire tour heads north to Korhogo, where the pace, landscape, and culture of the country begin to shift in powerful ways. Guiding this part of the journey is Ahmed, who introduces listeners to the cultural heartbeat of the Senufo region through the people, traditions, and daily life that define the city. As he walks through Korhogo’s markets, food culture, craft traditions, and community spaces, Ahmed paints a picture of a place where history is carried not only through landmarks, but through the hands of artisans, farmers, traders, cooks, and woodcarvers keeping generations of culture alive. Through his perspective, listeners experience a side of Côte d’Ivoire that feels deeply rooted in heritage — a version of travel that moves beyond postcards and into the everyday rhythms of northern life. This chapter of the tour reveals how many identities can exist within one country, and how Korhogo tells the story of Côte d’Ivoire through culture, tradition, and the people shaping it every day.
