Benin, the cradle of voodoo, represents the strength, the soul, the ancestral Africa reflected in its ethnic groups, it is its essence... it is the country of magic.
And the best way to feel that essence is to get closer to Ouidah during the annual voodoo festival and from the hand of the ZangbetoThe Nightwatchman; crossing the threshold that separates the real and the supernatural.
There's nothing better than to wander along the red dirt roads that wind through the deep sea of jungle greenery in search of lost villages where strange ceremonies and voodoo rituals take place every year. Navigate the labyrinth of canals of the Ganviéthe town on the lake, discover some of the mysteries of the Holi countryfeel the rhythm of Africa in the guelede mask dances or marvel at the splendour of the ancient kingdom of Dahomey.
And to finish, enjoy relaxing in the paradisiacal Grand Popo beaches.
