Benin is a great country to visit on any West African itinerary. Benin is the birthplace of Vodun (Voodoo) and all that goes with it—to this day Vodun remains the official religion of the country, and an important part of the life of ordinary Beninese. The national parks of Benin are also well worth a visit for their wildlife. Benin is also, fortunately, one of the most stable and safe countries of the region for traveling.
Cities
1 Porto-Novo — The capital, if only in name, hosting the parliament and a unique Afro-Portuguese heritage
2 Abomey — The pre-colonial capital whose Royal Palaces are on the UNESCO World Heritage List
3 Cotonou — Benin's largest city and de facto capital, the hectic and cramped home to many government offices and the country's port
4 Grand-Popo — A sleepy beach resort town close to the Togolese border
5 Malanville — A border town with Niger, with not much else besides a border post
6 Natitingou — Largest city on the way to northern Togo or Burkina Faso and a jumping-off point for exploring the Tata Somba
7 Ouidah - A former slave-trading port that is a center for the country's vodun heritage
8 Parakou — The largest city in the central region
Climate
The equatorial south of Benin experiences two rainy seasons of the year, from April to mid July and from mid-September through the end of October. The rainy period in the subequatorial north runs from March until October. The best time of the year to visit the country is from November to February, when the temperature moderates, and the weather is dry with low humidity.
People
The nation consists of more than 60 ethnic groups. The major tribes include the Fon (40%), Aja (15%), and Yoruba (12%) in the south of the country, and the Bariba (9%), Somba (8%), and Fulbe (6%) in the north.
The most widespread religion is Christianity (43%), predominantly in the south, and Islam in the north (24%). Most interesting for many visitors, however, is the strong influence of Vodun on Benin, practiced as a principal religion by a good 18% of the populace, and which was spread about the globe largely by the massive quantity of slaves exported by the Dahomey Kingdom.
Talk
The official language is French — the language of the former colonial power. Native African languages such as Fon and Yoruba are spoken in the south, Bariba and Dendi in the north, and over 50 other African languages and dialects are spoken in the country. English is on the rise.

West Africa Adventure Ep 4: Burkina Faso ???????? - Togo ???????? - Benin ???????? - Niger ????????
Hey guys,
Welcome back to the West Africa Adventure. On this episode, I traveled a total distance of about 1,400 kilometres.
The ride took me through Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso into Kara in Togo and I proceeded to Ndali in Benin Republic before getting to Malanville and then the capital city of Niger Republic, Niamey.
I was meant to follow the direct route from Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso into Niamey in Niger Republic but because of the insecurity and the intel I got, I was told to go through Togo and Benin Republic as that is the only safe route available.
The ride was a crazy one and one of the most adventurous rides I have ever embarked on and it is by far the most interesting rides of all as I experienced everything there is on the road.
The ride took me through 3 International borders which were over 250 Kilometres apart: Cinkasse Border Post, Ouakè Border Post and Malanville Border Post.
I also ran into a big ditch in the middle of the road in Benin Republic while on my way to Malanville border so I had to stop at a small village to fix the rim of my motorcycle before riding in the dead of the night to Malanville border.
This video highlights all the adventures and everything that happened during this trip across West Africa.
I hope you guys enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed filming and editing it.
Thank you for watching.

How Safe Is Niger for Travel?
Full safety review:
Niger, also colloquially referred to as the Heart of Darkness is a landlocked country in Africa with a population of about 16 million.
It shares its borders with Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Nigeria, Chad, and Libya.
Like many of African country, Niger is also a former colony: it was under the French until it gained independence in 1960.
Most of the country is covered in desert plains and dunes, with rolling savanna in the southeast.
Overall, Niger isn’t a safe country to visit. With its political turmoil and UN labeling it the major drug smuggling port, violent and petty crime on the streets, there are lots to think about when planning a trip to Niger.
