Travel to Benin: a stunning piece of Africa | TravelGretl
Early 2018 we travelled to Benin for the Hunger Project. They celebrated their 10 year anniversary in this beautiful country, working hand in hand with locals towards a sustainable end of world hunger.
At the end of our trip we got 2 days of to see a bit of the country. Visiting Ganvie in lake Nokoue, and walking the route of the slaves. Which is very impressive!
Of course we missed out on a lot as well, not being able to see some of the wildlife in the north. There is much more to explore!
Benin is a stunning country with amazing people, I can only recommend visiting if you ever get the chance.
