Why Togo is a strong destination
Togo is small enough to tour in a few days and distinctive enough to sell: Lomé’s palm-lined boulevard and Grand Marché, Kpalimé’s waterfalls and cocoa hills, and the UNESCO Koutammakou landscape of the Batammariba. Combined with Ghana or Benin it makes a strong multi-country West Africa itinerary for special-interest and francophone groups.
- Lomé — one of West Africa’s most walkable coastal capitals
- Koutammakou, Land of the Batammariba (UNESCO)
- Kpalimé hills, waterfalls and cocoa country
- Easy add-on to Ghana and Benin circuit programmes
