TOGO BENIN ADVENTURE

On this motorcycle adventure, we ride through the animistic countries Togo and Benin. The voodoo religion originates from this region along the coast.

​

The landscape varies from dense forests to a coastal route along the Atlantic Ocean. We learn about daily life in the villages. People live in mud huts and thatched roofs. Further, there are many lively markets. We meet different population groups and visit the pole villages of the Tofinu people. We take a trip through the dubious history of the slave trade, colonization and coups in Abemey and Ouida. Finally, we discover beautiful forests with a wide variety of insects and butterflies. 

​

The extremely variable quality of surfacing and paving consists of asphalt, sandy roads and small forest paths. Therefore, the support vehicle cannot follow us everywhere and regularly take a different route.
