An Unforgettable Expedition
One of the best ways to experience the cultures, traditions, and wildlife of West Africa is through a multi-country tour. This experience offers a unique and welcoming journey through ancient cultural sites, traditional ceremony, beautiful beaches, dark historical past, and exceptional natural features.
You will embark on an unforgettable expedition! Exploration begins in Lome, Togo visiting the grand Marche (big market), National Museum of Togo, witches market of Akodessewa, and the artisanal village.
Benin is the birthplace of Vodou (known by the colonial moniker of Voodoo). While visiting Ouidah, you will be able to witness a traditional Vodou ceremony, the spirituality of empowerment. Learn about this sacred spiritual practice in its original context and community. You will visit the Sacred Pythons Temple and Sacred Forest which features figurines representing deities of kings and the founders of Ouidah.

Benin is also known for Ganvie, a lake village near Cotonou, which is often referred to as the Venice of West Africa. It features the largest lake village in Africa. Homes are built on stilts over the water and the primary means of transportation are wooden boats. This village is an UNESCO World Heritage site.
Abomey was the capital of the Dahomey Kingdom from 1625 to 1900, known for their formidable women warriors. You will visit the royal palaces and Historical Museum of Abomey. And there’s so much more!
