From Dakar · Senegal

Dakar to Cotonou.

The same CFA franc, no visa, and a Benin still being discovered: Ouidah, Abomey, the Vodun Days. Cotonou is the most comfortable base for all of it.

The journey

By air, with a regional stop depending on the day. On arrival, Cadjèhoun is fifteen minutes from our homes.

The visa

ECOWAS citizens: no visa for Benin. Other nationalities apply for the electronic visa.

The money

CFA franc on both sides, no exchange to plan.

Hotel or furnished home?

A home with a kitchen and a housekeeper beats a room when you travel as a family or stay more than a week — and the concierge arranges the trips to Ouidah and Abomey.
