Sports and leisure activities - Togo in 2024

Practical information : Move & Laze around Togo

Budget & Tips

Togo's 56 km coastline is a popular source of leisure activities. What a pleasure to stroll between coconut palms to the rhythm of ocean waves, just a few steps from the hustle and bustle of the capital! The big market is just around the corner, and the autonomous port of Lomé is bustling with activity. Deep-sea fishing is an option on the Togolese coast. Several professionals offer their services to sea tourists, with day or half-day outings on 4 to 6-person boats. On the outskirts of Lomé, the Golf Club de Lomé, which was closed for a while, offers a 9-hole par 36 course, and has recently opened up the lush green grounds of the Mercure Sarakawa hotel. With its exceptional birdlife and flora, Togo will delight nature lovers. Several agencies and organizations offer nature walks, including 1001 pistes, run by a French scientific couple who head the Observatoire de la faune, de la flore et des aires protégées (OFFAP) association.

What's very local

Awale is a very popular game in Togo. It can be compared to backgammon. It pits two players against each other and is played in twelve or twenty-four holes containing Caesalpinia crista seeds. The holes are either dug in the ground or carved out of a piece of wood. The game consists in taking the seeds from one of the holes and then placing a seed in each of the following holes. If the last seed falls into a hole where there are one or two seeds, you take them. If, on the other hand, the square is empty or contains more than three seeds, the hand passes and the game continues. Wood-carved awalés are often beautifully decorated and make very fine handicrafts.

To be booked
