Benin
Country in West Africa
Benin, a French-speaking West African nation, is a birthplace of the vodun (or “voodoo”) religion and home to the former Dahomey Kingdom from circa 1600–1900. In Abomey, Dahomey's former capital, the Historical Museum occupies two royal palaces with bas-reliefs recounting the kingdom’s past and a throne mounted on human skulls. To the north, Pendjari National Park offers safaris with elephants, hippos and lions. ― Google

I Visit the Birth Place of Voodoo.
Benin Republic is the birth place of Voodoo in West Africa.
Ouidah is a historical voodoo city in Cotonou, Benin Republic, and it is home to the world's only python temple, which I visit as a tourist. As of the time of recording the above video, we were the only tourists inside the temple, giving us the opportunity to ask a lot of questions about the pythons in OUIDAH, BENIN REPUBLIC
Snakes are feared in most areas of the world, yet they are cherished in Benin. In Benin, especially in Ouidah, royal pythons are revered. The good news is that royal pythons are not poisonous.
I hope you have had a better understanding of our Yoruba tour and the temple itself. If you appreciate watching this and would like to see more of it on our channel, please consider subscribing.

map of Benin [ Africa ]
Benin ; French: Bénin [benɛ̃]), officially the Republic of Benin (French: République du Bénin) and formerly known as Dahomey, is a country in West Africa. It is bordered by Togo to the west, Nigeria to the east, Burkina Faso to the north-west, and Niger to the north-east. The majority of its population lives on the small southern coastline of the Bight of Benin, part of the Gulf of Guinea in the northernmost tropical portion of the Atlantic Ocean. The capital of Benin is Porto-Novo, but the seat of government is in Cotonou, the country's largest city and economic capital. Benin covers an area of 114,763 square kilometres (44,310 sq mi) and its population in 2018 was estimated to be approximately 11.49 million Benin is a tropical nation, highly dependent on agriculture, and is a large exporter of palm oil and cotton. Substantial employment and income arise from subsistence farming.
The official language of Benin is French, with several indigenous languages such as Fon, Bariba, Yoruba and Dendi also being commonly spoken. The largest religious group in Benin is Roman Catholicism, followed closely by Islam, Vodun (commonly referred to as Voodoo outside the country) and Protestantism. Benin is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, La Francophonie, the Community of Sahel–Saharan States, the African Petroleum Producers Association and the Niger Basin Authority.
From the 17th to the 19th century, the main political entities in the area were the Kingdom of Dahomey, along with the city-state of Porto-Novo, and a large area with many different nations to the north. This region was referred to as the Slave Coast from as early as the 17th century due to the large number of people who were kidnapped and trafficked to the New World during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. After slavery was abolished, France took over the country and renamed it French Dahomey. In 1960, Dahomey gained full independence from France. The sovereign state has had a tumultuous history since then, with many different democratic governments, military coups, and military governments. A self-described Marxist–Leninist state called the People's Republic of Benin existed between 1975 and 1990. Alibori Kandi Borgou North North East

Recent migrations have brought other African nationals to Benin that include Nigerians, Togolese, and Malians. The foreign community also includes many Lebanese and Indians involved in trade and commerce. The personnel of the many European embassies and foreign aid missions and of nongovernmental organisations and various missionary groups account for a large part of the 5,500 European population. A small part of the European population consists of Beninese citizens of French ancestry.

Le vieux pont métallique en ruine, de l'époque coloniale, se dresse toujours à l'entrée de Grand-Popo au côté du nouveau.

VLOG BÉNIN | 3 visites à pirogue à faire au Bénin ???????? | Une Turbanista à Cotonou
Tu as le choix ! Pour prendre l’air frais que procure une virée en pirogue, pour admirer les magnifiques paysages, voir les modes de vie lacustres des populations voici 3 lieux incontournables pour visiter le Bénin et ses richesses, à pirogue ET avec tes enfants !
- La Rivière noire - Black River à Adjarra ! Vraiment avant de venir c’était LA visite que je souhaitais faire. Je n’ai pas été déçue. Et y suis retournée plusieurs fois d’ailleurs. Le bruit du silence est intense et procure un bien-être fou. La fraîcheur de cette ballade est super agréable et la beauté des paysage est à couper le souffle. Vous l’aurez deviné, on l’appelle Black River à cause de la couleur de l’eau. Le contraste entre le ciel, la végétation et la noirceur de l’eau offrent un paysage spectaculaire. C’est une pro du tourisme qui vous parle. Mes filles adorent faire cette visite, et c’est tout à fait safe !
- Ganvié : La célébre cité lacustre que vous avez déjà pu voir. c’est LA visite incontournable (oui elle aussi ). Vous entendrez souvent les gens dire que c’est la Venise de l’Afrique. Pardon, c’est Venise qui est la Ganvié de l’Europe ! C’est la plus importante cité lacustre de l’Afrique de l’Ouest. Est-ce que vous vous rendez compte que ce petit pays qu’est le Bénin offre la plus grande cité lacustre ?!! (oui je me répéte !) . Un réelle empreinte culturelle et historique … Le guide prend le temps d’expliquer, de raconter des anecdotes et c’est une superbe activité pour les enfants, ils y découvrent l’histoire du Bénin sous une forme différente. La richesse de ce village est incommensurable ! Tout se fait à pirogue. Les enfants apprennent à naviguer dés leur plus jeune âge. Les maisons sont sur pilotis, le marché est directement sur les pirogues. Bref… faut veniiiir!
- Lagunes de Ouidah : Notre première visite à pirogue au Bénin lorsque nous avons commencé nos voyages de repérage. Cette fois-ci nous étions sans les enfants, mais c’est totalement à faire avec les enfants. Les lagunes sont belles et vastes, on naviguait entre les mangroves, on rencontrait quelques pêcheurs et nous avions visité le village. Le guide nous expliquait également de la culture du sel de Ouidah et nous vantait son excellente qualité gustative. Une visite fort apaisante après avoir visité Ouidah et ses richesses ! Mais ça on en parle plus tard !
SVP, ne venez pas au Bénin sans avoir fait au moins une de ces ballades !
As-tu déjà fait des ballades à pirogues ?
Salut, moi c’est Stéphanie By Shaely ou Une Turbanista à Cotonou et ma mission est de faire du Bénin ta future destination touristique et de retour en Afrique !
