DISCOVER TOGO
From a small child's smile to a waterfall deep in the forest, Togo reveals itself as the land of small miracles. It's a sparkling gemstone nestled in the azure waters of the Gulf of Benin in West Africa. It's one of the smallest countries in Africa, but make no mistake, Togo is proof that small is better!
OUR TOURS
Togo is divided into five regions. Each region has its own distinct characteristics and landscapes:
-
The maritime region is the first in the country, where Lomé, the capital, is located. Located on the Atlantic coast of Togo, the maritime region is the most economically and politically significant in the country.. Lomé is home to the country's largest market and numerous craft shops. The region stretches 47km to the town of Aného, once the colonial capital, bordered by coconut palm beaches. Further north is the Mono River, which can be explored and descended by canoe.
-
The Plateaux region is the most populated in Togo, thanks to its attractive tourist spots. It enjoys a nuanced climate, thanks to its mountains, where people can relax in hot weather.
-
Kpalimé is the region's most famous city and the most popular tourist destination in the country. Its lush nature provides an idyllic setting for tourism development. Between waterfalls, forests, and craft centers, the surroundings of Kpalimé are full of exceptional natural wonders. It is a human-sized, welcoming, and beloved city. The region is also home to Togo's highest peak, Mount Agou (986 m). This region is characterized by the presence of numerous peaks, a series of land areas called "plateaus." This mountainous region is home to many varieties of trees, plants, and insects.
-
The central region is the third largest region in the country, moving northward. Its main city is Sokodé, a crossroads between the north and south of the country. Less verdant than the plateau region, forests are also present; 20% of the forests and reserves are classified, including numerous national parks. Culturally, the region is renowned for its traditional dances: fire dance, couteux dance, etc. The central region is characteristic of the diversity of Togolese peoples and culture.
-
The Kara region is a fairly dry region. There are numerous parks where you can admire wild animals such as zebras, crocodiles, deer, and peacocks. This region is quite ancestral; the people have been perpetuating their arts and techniques for thousands of years. The region also boasts beautiful markets, the most interesting of which are those in Niamtougou and Kétao. The region is also a center of Togolese traditions: in July, for example, traditional wrestling takes place.
-
The savannah region is located in the far north of Togo, bordering three countries: Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Benin. This region features immense dry plains, equivalent to the end of the Sahel. The region is full of historical and cultural treasures such as the Nok and Maproug caves (listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites), paintings, and more.
