About Togo

Togo, a small West African country, is bordered by Ghana, Benin, Burkina Faso, and the Gulf of Guinea, with Lomé as its coastal capital. Gaining independence from France on April 27, 1960, Togo has a rich cultural heritage, with over 40 ethnic groups, including the Ewe, Mina, and Kabye. The country's economy is rooted in agriculture, exporting cotton, coffee, and cocoa, and is home to some of the world's largest phosphate reserves.

Lomé, known as "The Pearl of West Africa," is famous for its bustling markets, Kente weaving, batik fabrics, and the Akodessawa Fetish Market, the largest Voodoo market globally. Visitors can also explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tamberma Valley, known for its distinctive mud homes, and enjoy Togo's rich traditions in music, dance, and cuisine, making it a hidden gem with much to offer. ​​
