-President Thomas Boni Yayi

I dream of a Benin that smiles and that's why I invite us to turn resolutely toward a clear future.

Benin offers a unique blend of experiences for the intrepid traveller. The country's historical significance as a major centre of the African slave trade is palpable in the poignant sites of Ouidah. Meanwhile, the northern regions of Benin will captivate you with their wildlife-rich national parks and the unique mud tower-houses of the Somba people.
