Set along the magnificent Atlantic Coast in West Africa, the off-the-beaten-track country of Togo is known for its varied landscapes, pristine white-sand beaches, and diverse cultural heritage.

Togo also offers a huge dose of tradition with almost 40 different ethnic groups celebrating their rich culture and traditions with an array of festivals held throughout the year.

Visitors can laze on the palm-fringed beaches of Lome and Aneho, view the amazing 17th-century mud huts of Koutammakou, and explore the country’s spectacular interior, known for its cocoa and coffee plantations and undulating savannah-covered hills traversed by a network of scenic hiking trails.

Other highlights include: visiting hilltop villages, browsing the fascinating fetish market, and soaking up Togo ’s beautiful wilderness at the national parks of Fazao and Keran.
