Woezon' (Welcome) to Togo
Togo or The Togolese Republic is a French speaking Western African country and despite being one of the smallest country in Africa is a rewarding tourist destination. Its landscape is made of beaches along the coastline, lush green mountains, lakes and lagoons and Savannah filled with animals. Through our tours, you will have cultural experiences that can only be found in Togo because of the diversity of its population. You will meet one of the most popular tribal groups, the Tamberma. The Tamberma are in the north of the country and are known for their traditional mud tower-houses which remain their preferred style of living. The beaches, the natural attractions, the historical traditions and curious traditions and the friendliness of its people await you in Togo.

We take away the hassle of the visa process from our clients by applying for the visa on their behalf.

The tipping amount is between €50-100 per person for the whole duration of the tour.
