Togo

A long, narrow country in West Africa stretching from the Gulf of Guinea coast to northern savanna, with Vodun culture, mountain villages and a World Heritage mud-house site.

Togo lies in West Africa, bordered by Benin to the east and Ghana to the west. The country is long and narrow from north to south, with the Gulf of Guinea coast at its southern end, where the capital, Lomé, sits by the sea. In the south you will find Lake Togo and the old town of Aného. In the central highlands, the forests, waterfalls and coffee plantations around Kpalimé are ideal for hiking, and in the Kara region in the north, Koutammakou is a World Heritage site known for the tower-like mud houses of the Batammariba people. Vodun beliefs and traditional markets are important cultural experiences. The best time to travel is the dry season (about November to March). Lomé's international airport is the main entry point, and you can also cross overland from Ghana or Benin.
