Things to do in Benin - Expert’s guide
Ganvie Lake Village
Known as the Venice of Africa, Ganvie Lake Village is a town entirely on stilts. Here travelers can go on boat rides, eat at local restaurants and enjoy the cultural immersion into the village.
Pendjari National Park
For nature travelers and photographers alike, Pendjari National Park is full of beautiful landscapes and wildlife. This is the last safari destination in West Africa that allows travelers a chance to get a glimpse of a lion or elephant in the wild.
Historical Museum of Abomey
12 palaces in one area, the Historical Museum of Abomey is perfect for travelers with an interest in history or culture. These structures are no longer inhabited but hold insight into the Fon people who founded this kingdom.
Dantokpa Market
The largest open-air market in West Africa, Dantokpa Market is one of the most important retailing areas in all of Benin. This destination is very lively and without much order to the vendors, you’ll need to do some exploring to find something you want to buy.
Villa Karo
For cultural enthusiasts or art lovers, Villa Karo is a must-see. Villa Karo is an artists’ residence that strives to improve understanding between different kinds of cultures. Many art exhibitions, film screenings and concerts among other events are done here.
Kota Falls
Perfect for a refreshing swim, Kota Falls is a waterfall with a secluded pool. Travelers can hike around the hills and then cool off in the water or have a picnic in the shade. This is a perfect destination for travelers who love nature and exploring it as well as getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
