Stay : Discovering Benin's coastline

Allow a minimum of 8 days. One week won't allow you to visit the north of the country, so we'll be focusing on coastal Benin, particularly for its rich history. With several highlights such as the oppressive Slave Route in Ouidah, a pleasant pirogue trip on Lake Nokoué or Lake Ahémé, the fishing trip back to Grand-Popo...
