Details
A diverse journey through Benin and Togo offering traditional ceremonies, remote villages, varied landscapes, elaborate costumes, and an insight into two countries rarely visited by tourists and where the arrival of strangers is a event. Two dedicated voodoo departure festivals are offered in January marking the start of Benin's vibrant festival season.
Voodoo - A unique chance to witness these intriguing and esoteric rituals.
Diverse landscapes - Spend a night in a remarkable stilt village built on a lake at Ganvie and explore villages in the Atakora Mountains, accompanied by a fetish priest.
Village Life - See traditional life up close, meet a village chief and pass through local markets.
