From Libreville · Gabon
Libreville to Cotonou.
Under two hours in the air, no visa for African passports, and a French-speaking seaside city people visit for business, for the end-of-year holidays or for a weekend. Several airlines fly the route every week.
The journey
Several nonstop flights a week, about 1 h 45, with FlyGabon (Afrijet) and Air Côte d'Ivoire. On arrival, Cadjèhoun airport is fifteen minutes from most of our homes, and the welcome is timed to your flight.
The visa
African passports: no visa for Benin, for up to 90 days. Other nationalities apply for the electronic visa.
The money
The Central African CFA franc (XAF) is worth exactly the same as Benin's CFA franc (XOF), but its notes are not accepted in West Africa: change them before you leave or on arrival. We accept card, bank transfer and Mobile Money, and our rates are published in FCFA.
Hotel or furnished home?
For an assignment, a family celebration or a stay of several weeks, a whole home costs less than several hotel rooms, with a kitchen and room to host.

Common questions
- Do you need a visa to travel from Gabon to Benin?
- Not with an African passport: Benin waives the visa for citizens of every African country, for up to 90 days. Other nationalities apply for the electronic visa online. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate is checked on arrival.
- Is Gabon's CFA franc accepted in Cotonou?
- No. Both CFA francs have the same value, but Central African notes do not circulate in Benin. Change them at a bureau de change, or pay by card or transfer.
