Got frequently in Abidjan in the 1980s... on ACMI with UTA/Air Afrique.
Abidjan was a paradise. Excellent food. Was like Paris, but near the Equator.
Definitely my favorite city in Africa. I speak French - That helps too.
People were great. I do not know why things got to hell in recent years.
I heard things are getting better again. We stayed at the Méridien.
Safety in better hotel areas and airport should not be any problem.
