Bassar Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 9 photos
Bassar or Bassari is a smallish town halfway up Togo. WE reached it by crossing over by road from Ghana.
We were on a two week tour encompassing Ghana, Togo and Benin, and stopped here to learn a little about the culture and customs of the Bassar people.

Enjoyed reading about the royal stools and ostrich egg on roof top! Cheers, SL :)
Quite an interesting village. I liked the idea of the holes in the tomb for the spirit to breath. Nice you got to meet the" King".
Interesting tips. Yes, I'd like to combine Togo with Ghana and Benin too.
