Travel to Benin: a stunning piece of Africa | TravelGretl
Early 2018 we travelled to Benin for the Hunger Project. They celebrated their 10 year anniversary in this beautiful country, working hand in hand with locals towards a sustainable end of world hunger.
At the end of our trip we got 2 days of to see a bit of the country. Visiting Ganvie in lake Nokoue, and walking the route of the slaves. Which is very impressive!
Of course we missed out on a lot as well, not being able to see some of the wildlife in the north. There is much more to explore!
Benin is a stunning country with amazing people, I can only recommend visiting if you ever get the chance.

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

Quick Guide to Benin: Visa-free travel for South Africans
Benin is a West African country that is deep-rooted in intriguing culture and breathtaking, natural beauty. There is a wide variety of activities and attractions to keep everyone entertained.
You can discover the magic and mystery of the state religion known as voodoo by attending one of Benin's vibrant annual ceremonies in honour of it.
Or visit the markets in Cotonou, which will have you enthralled with their compelling yet macabre fetish section. Take to the waters and sail out to Ganvié, a floating stilted haven that sits buoyant on Lake Nakoué.
For those looking to kick back, why not lounge on the stunning, deserted, palm-fringed beaches at Grand Popo on the Bight of Benin. Here you can soak up some sun, sand, sea and palm leaf shade.
Or get wild and spot some elephants, cheetah, buffalo and lion at one of West Africa's prime game reserves.
Here's a look at the Benin and what you need to know should you want to visit:

???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!
HELLO FROM LAGOS, NIGERIA -- COUNTRY #175!! ???????? I truly had a lot of fun making this video inside Africa's craziest and most populated city. Did you know that over 20 million people are living in Lagos?! It is hands down one of the most hectic, chaotic, and vibrant places I've ever been with a LOT of stories to tell. I'm overwhelmed.
My local friend and YouTuber named Tayo (his channel linked below) has been taking me all around his bustling city of Lagos and we've had an absolute blast together. Surprisingly, this was one of the hardest videos I've ever made because it's REALLY challenging to shoot content on these streets. People don't like being on camera here and they make a huge commotion in the streets and ask for money (etc) whenever they see it from a distance.
In any regard, I hope you enjoy this episode of my $10 series and get a glimpse into local Nigerian culture. More to come tomorrow! Nigeria is awesome!

WE JUST COMPLETED THE MOST INSANE 10 day road trip across West Africa!! Wow, I cannot believe how many stories we have to tell for the rest of our lives.
I've been traveling with my Spanish buddy Alvaro, who is now 1 country away from visiting every country in the world, and we both agree that this has been one of the most difficult trips of our lives both mentally and physically. It's a logistical nightmare to plan, not to mention the constant corruption and bribery at every police checkpoint and border crossing.
But we did it.
And looking back already, it was an incredible trip and one for the memories. Thank you to everyone who followed our journey along the way! Many more stories to come from Senegal and then onwards to the Middle East and Central Africa!

The Great Wall of Benin, Nigeria | Wonders of the World| #travel #fypシ #viral #fyp #shorts #trending
Title: Unraveling the Marvels of The Great Wall of Benin, Nigeria
Embark on a captivating journey through history as we uncover the enigmatic story of The Great Wall of Benin, Nigeria, in this enthralling YouTube video. Join us as we delve into the remarkable legacy of one of Africa's most awe-inspiring architectural wonders.
Stretching across the ancient Kingdom of Benin, this monumental structure stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Edo people. Built during the reign of the Oba (king) of Benin, the Great Wall served as a formidable defensive fortification, protecting the kingdom from external threats and safeguarding its rich cultural heritage.
As the camera pans across the sprawling landscape of present-day Nigeria, viewers are transported back in time to an era of thriving kingdoms and bustling trade routes. The Great Wall, with its towering mud-brick ramparts and intricate earthworks, emerges as a symbol of power and resilience.
Our expert guide, a passionate historian with a deep knowledge of African history, leads us on a journey of discovery. From the bustling streets of modern Benin City to the remote villages nestled along the ancient wall, we unravel the mysteries surrounding this extraordinary feat of engineering.
Through stunning aerial footage and on-the-ground exploration, we uncover the secrets of the Great Wall's construction and purpose. From its strategic placement along key trade routes to its role in defending against rival kingdoms and European colonial powers, every stone tells a story of triumph and defiance.
But the Great Wall is more than just a barrier of mud and earth. It is a living testament to the cultural heritage of the Edo people, with its intricate carvings, sacred shrines, and hidden passages offering glimpses into a vibrant and dynamic society.
As we journey along the length of the Great Wall, we encounter local communities preserving age-old traditions and celebrating their rich history. Through interviews with historians, archaeologists, and descendants of the Edo royalty, we gain insight into the significance of this remarkable monument to the past.
The length of the Great Wall of Benin in Nigeria is estimated to be around 9,900 kilometers (6,152 miles). This makes it one of the longest ancient fortifications in the world, rivaling even the Great Wall of China in terms of length. However, it's important to note that exact measurements can vary due to the wall's age and the challenges of accurately surveying such a vast and ancient structure.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, an avid traveler, or simply curious about the wonders of the African continent, this YouTube video promises to captivate and inspire. Join us on this unforgettable expedition as we unravel the marvels of The Great Wall of Benin, Nigeria, and celebrate the enduring legacy of Africa's ancient kingdoms.
