ITINERARY

Day 1 – Cotonou → Lomé: Between Two Countries and Two Atmospheres

Your adventure begins in Cotonou, where you board an air-conditioned vehicle and set off for Togo.

After crossing the land border between Benin and Togo, you arrive in Lomé, a vibrant capital city overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Discover the city’s atmosphere through its local handicrafts, coastline, and lively urban culture. This first day gives you an opportunity to experience the differences and similarities between two neighboring countries whose histories and identities are closely connected.

Check in at your hotel and enjoy some time to relax.

Experience of the day: cross a border, enter a new country, and discover a different cultural atmosphere within just a few hours.

Day 2 – Sarakawa: Immersion in Nature & Wildlife

After the vibrant atmosphere of Lomé, it is time to reconnect with nature.

Travel to Sarakawa Park for one of the highlights of the journey: a safari experience surrounded by natural landscapes.

Along the way, depending on conditions and the animals present, you may have the opportunity to observe various species, including antelopes, buffaloes, and other local wildlife.

Take your time to admire the scenery, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings—a striking contrast to the lively cities experienced the previous day.

After this refreshing escape into nature, return to Lomé.

Experience of the day: slow down, observe wildlife, and discover another side of Togo, far from the energy of the city.

Day 3 – Lomé → Cotonou: Freedom, Relaxation & Lasting Memories

Enjoy your final morning in Lomé after breakfast.

Depending on the time available and your preferences, enjoy a few moments at your own pace: take a walk along the coast, shop for souvenirs, discover local handicrafts, or explore the city independently.

Then it is time to begin the journey back to Cotonou, crossing the border once again as you return to Benin.

You return with much more than photographs: memories of two countries, contrasting landscapes, and a West African experience lived from within.

Experience of the day: savor the final moments of your journey before returning to Cotonou.

Why This Tour Is Different

In just three days, you travel from the vibrant energy of Cotonou to the coastal atmosphere of Lomé and then to the peaceful natural surroundings of Sarakawa.
