Koutammakou - home of the Bassamba

by grets - last update: Apr 8, 2007

UNESCO World Heritage site

The small village of Kouadangou is famous well beyond its size. This little speck on the map is part of a wider area known as Koutammakou, a region that stretches for s several miles across northern Togo and into neighbouring Benin and Burkina Faso. This is the home of the Bassamba, who are famous for their fortress-like architecture, known as Takienta. We spent a couple of days here, soaking up the local atmosphere.

 Great builders for sure,fasinating architecture. Very interesting about customs. I don't think I would have wanted to sleep outside the tent.
