Benin Travel Forum

hello everyone, quick question. Are travelers traveling from Benin Republic obligated to pay a Basic Traveling Allowance? and if you can tell me more about that BTA.


thank you all..

One of the tips says, do not go out at night. Hey where are you from. All larger cities have its problems, sure there are places where you do not go out at night. A European New York does not go cycling through Harlem at night time, in Cotonou you do not take a motor taxi at night time and on the same note you avoid certain areas of the city such as the road in front of the port.
Cotonou is safe if you take care of yourself!

IS it possible to get Benin visa at the Togo border or perhaps in consulate in Accra or Lome?

Dear fellow travellers,

I have two simply questions, please...

1) I don't know a single word in French. Is it possible to travel there without any problem just by using English language?

2) What about the sea on the south? Is it nice (good swiming, beaches, maybe snorchling)?

Thank you!!

is there fishing in the Lac Nokue?

I have heard about a hotel in Cotonou called Hotel du Tachere. Can anyone give me some information about it please? Like the size, location, address and telephone number. I can not find anything about it anywhere except through a friend who mentioned it passing by and said it was a good deal

Anyone currently living in Proto-Novo, or anyone who has recently lvied there?
