Benin

While the country itself is small Benin is a destination full of culture, art and natural attractions.

Known as the birthplace of vodun, or voodoo, there are many festivals and events that take place in Benin revolving around the traditions. In the beach city of Ouidah, travellers can attend the local market, or learn about the history of vodun and the city at the Ouidah Historical Museum.

For travellers looking for unique sights, travelling to Ganvie, known as the ‘Venice of Africa’, might prove worthwhile. All the huts in this village are built on stilts, making them look as if they are floating on water.
