Why Go?
For those fond of travelling off the beaten track, Togo will prove a rewarding destination. It
offers a great diversity of landscapes, from the lakes and palm-fringed beaches along the
Atlantic coastline to the rolling forested hills in the centre. As you head further north, the
landscape leaves its mantle of lush forest green for the light green and yellowy tinges of sa-
vannah land. The cherry on top is Lomé, the low-key yet elegant capital, with its large av-
enues, tasty restaurants and throbbing nightlife - not to mention the splendid beaches on its
doorstep. Togo is also an excellent playground for hikers - there's no better ecofriendly
way to experience the country's savage beauty than on foot.
Another highlight is the culture. Togo is a melting pot. The fortified compounds of
Koutammakou are a reminder that the country's ethnically diverse population didn't always
get along. Nowadays, however, voodoo, Muslim, Christian and traditional festivals crowd
the calendar and are often colourful celebrations for all.
When to Go
Nov-Feb The best time to visit, with pleasant temperatures. Perfect for outdoor activities.
Mid-Jul-mid-Sep There's a dry spell in the south, which makes transport less challenging.
Mar & Apr The hottest period throughout the country is best avoided.
