Benin

About Benin

Benin is the spiritual heartland of West Africa, where the Vodun (voodoo) religion originated and continues to thrive. This small but culturally rich nation was once home to the powerful Kingdom of Dahomey, whose legacy lives on in the UNESCO-listed Royal Palaces of Abomey. Visit the mystical city of Ouidah, walk the Route of Slaves to the Door of No Return, explore the sacred Python Temple, and take a boat through Ganvié, the "Venice of Africa." Benin offers an authentic glimpse into West African spirituality and history.
