Togo: Updates & Travel

Travel in Togo

A country in West Africa that is still relatively unknown to many travelers, but is so full of culture and history that it is an absolute must to visit. Enjoy the warm sun and the beautiful ocean, take a boat trip on Lake Togo, visit the old colonial villages and delve into the history of slavery or head north and see beautiful unique tatas (castle houses) of the Tamberna or experience the other special cultures and wild nature.
Lomé is the capital of Togo and has beautiful beaches, various markets, cozy restaurants, beautiful and interesting museums, and much more.
The Grand Marche in Lomé. At this large market you can buy everything you want, from food to clothing to accessories and art.
Aného: the Germans had assigned Aného as the first capital before Lomé was chosen as the capital. In Aného you can still see many colonial houses and that brings the former slave trade a little closer.
Tamberma valley is a village located further north in the country, close to the city of Kara. Tamberma valley is known for its typical houses with bright colours and unique shapes and its special culture. An absolute must!
Slave house of Togo: A short 45 minute drive from Lomé to Agbodrafo is an old slave house where slaves were kept and sold, and where slave owners lived. You can visit this historical place to gain a deeper understanding of the history of the country.
Be prepared of the crime(rate) in Togo. Robberies and violent assaults occur.
