Benin tours & holidays

Behold a blend of cultures in the birthplace of Vodun

A relatively underexplored country with deep cultural ties to the transatlantic slave trade, Benin is rich in history and tradition. In the home of the West African faith, Vodun, you can immerse yourself in the art, music, dance and spirituality of the religion and learn how the practice evolved into what we commonly know as Voodoo. Energetic ceremonies, Afro-Brazilian architecture and stilt villages atop lakes and lagoons give you a unique peek into life in this part of West Africa.
