  • We were able to stay AT a nice home in the village of Akiza. This was the only concrete home, compared to all of the other homes that were adobe homes. This is a photo of the front of the home along with a few of its occupants.
    PRICELESS

    Unique Qualities: This household had very many occupants, many kids, adults and various species of insects and other living things. We made an attempt to sleep in one of the rooms, but it was preoccuppied with several different species of insects prior to our arival therefore we chose to sleep out side under the stars. Upon placing our grass mats outside to sleep, someone brought us an air matterss. No words can describe that night of sleep out under the stars in the Bush Country of Benin West Africa.

     Nice to read you enjoyed Benin, but the next time you visit Africa, you really should try the local food. GRTZ

     Looking forward to my visit to Benin in December, experiencing the voodoo culture first hand. One of the pleasures of travelling for me is to try the street food - usually it is safer that buffets in 4* hotels! Thanks for sharing. :-)

     Wow! Your 'Ride An African Train' article is vivid & inspirational! I'm sure I'll remember this if someday I'm in Africa.

     Thank you for sharing your experiences in Benin. I will go there in a few months. I also often ate food from streetvendors in West Africa without problems.
