Note
Please note: Togo is a very-low-income country with very basic infrastructure, and vastly different to the western culture mentality. Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. This excursion involves a little amount of walking over uneven surfaces, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach and driving transfers of 60 minutes each way. Please be advised during the voodoo ceremony, guests will encounter displays of preserved animal specimens and animal livestock for cultural purposes. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes, sun protection and insect repellant is recommended. Anticipate high temperatures and humidity and we recommend staying hydrated by bringing your water bottle. Guests are informed that tips to local guides and drivers are at the guest’s discretion.
