Benin, a small West African nation nestled between Nigeria and Togo, is a vibrant and diverse country known for its rich history and cultural heritage. It is the birthplace of voodoo and many areas of the country are still steeped in this traditional religion. The country's antiquity is echoed in the ancient palaces of the once mighty Dahomey Kingdom which are now classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Other important historical sites include the Tapestry of Abomey and the slave trade route at Ouidah, which chronicles a poignant part of the country’s history. However, Benin is not all about history; the Pendjari National Park offers an outstanding wildlife experience with its diverse population of African animal species. This amazing blend of culture, history, and wildlife makes Benin a fascinating destination to discover.
