Authentic Voodoo Heritage
Togo and Benin are home to living voodoo traditions practised openly as a genuine belief system. Our Togo trips take you into ceremonies with local priests and to Lomé's famous fetish market.

Experience the vibrant culture and spiritual traditions of Togo with our expertly guided tours and holiday packages. Choose from our 11-day, 16-day, or 25-day Togo itineraries for a journey that blends voodoo heritage, diverse landscapes, and authentic West African encounters.
Togo tours offer one of West Africa's most authentic and culturally immersive journeys — a small nation where voodoo ceremonies are sacred rituals, markets serve local communities rather than souvenir hunters, and centuries-old traditions continue undisturbed. From the vibrant streets of Lomé and its legendary fetish market to the trance-like ceremonies of Benin's Ouidah and the extraordinary Tata Somba fortress villages of the Tamberma people in the north, Togo travel packages reveal a West Africa that remains genuinely itself.
Our small group Togo holidays cover the full breadth of this remarkable region — exploring Lomé's grand marché and fetish market, sailing on Lake Togo, hiking the scenic trails around Mt Klouto near Kpalimé, and visiting the UNESCO-listed Koutammakou homeland of the Tamberma people. Multi country itineraries extend into Benin's Abomey and Ganvie stilt village, and Ghana's Ashanti Kingdom in Kumasi and Cape Coast's powerful slave castle heritage.

Togo rewards travellers who slow down — the best stories are found off the tour-bus route.
From the field
The best time to visit Togo is October to March, when rainfall drops and the heat becomes far more manageable. Our departures run in October, February and March, with additional Voodoo Festival departures in December and January timed around Benin's celebrated mid-January celebration. The coastal south stays warm and humid throughout the year, while the north around Koutammakou is noticeably drier and cooler from November. Travel outside the rainy seasons (April–June and August–September) makes a real difference on the road and at cultural sites.

“What an exceptional and extraordinary tour this was. Everything was handled perfectly — the guide, Valentine, was super knowledgeable.”

“An amazing trip! We had the most amazing holiday — over two weeks we had a taste of the cities, the culture, the mountains, a safari, and time at the beach. Our driver/guide made the whole trip very relaxing, and we were welcomed warmly by everyone we met, enjoying fabulous food and drink along the way. Undiscovered Destinations planned a really amazing itinerary for us with great hotels, a fabulous guide/driver, and interesting places to visit — they took great care to ensure we had an excellent holiday. We look forward to booking another holiday with them in the future. Thank you, Mark!”

“This adventure was always going to be very full-on, which is how we like our trips. I didn't count on getting bronchitis and ending up in hospital, however. The itinerary was quickly amended to avoid high-altitude destinations as much as possible while still making sure we had a chance to enjoy interesting experiences. While obviously sad to have missed some of the original sites, the revised itinerary was the only sensible option under the circumstances. I was extremely impressed with how Undiscovered Destinations and their local team handled the situation — taking the stress out of it, smoothing the way, rearranging the itinerary and booking new hotels, translating for me with the medical staff, and making sure I always had transport, medicines and anything else I needed. Nothing was too much trouble, and they kept in touch with me, each other, and the insurance company throughout. I can't recommend them enough!”

“My wife and I had a wonderful tour with Undiscovered Destinations. We had a different guide at each stop, and all of them were friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable. The local people were welcoming, and we always felt safe and comfortable. The beaches were spectacularly beautiful and empty of people, with warm, clear water, and each stop had its own character — some we loved for their unspoiled scenery, others for their history and the warmth of the welcome. We took the opportunity to snorkel on one of the most pristine reefs we've experienced, swimming with sea turtles and enormous manta rays that came right up to us out of curiosity. A wonderful destination for nature lovers.”
Frank
“Excellent. Action packed. Our local agent was excellent, and a good choice by Undiscovered Destinations. Because there were only two of us on the holiday, we had different guides at each stop, each one making sure we were handed over safely. All manner of transport was used, and we appreciated the different guiding strategies, the wealth of information given, the high level of English, and the genuine wish to show off their country at its best. Excellent.”
Cathy
“Far exceeding my expectations, this was one of the best trips I've ever done. A beautiful destination, with interesting history, lively ceremonies, lovely people and — surprisingly, for somewhere that sees so few tourists — absolutely no hassle on the streets. Excellent service from start to finish, with a first-class tour leader.”
Lynn
“We had a two-week trip with Undiscovered Destinations, flying in for two days first to break up the journey. It was a great trip, because we managed to see so much more than just the capital cities. This was the fourth trip we've taken with Undiscovered Destinations, and each one has been wonderful. Our guides were lovely — very professional and helpful. We rate UD very highly.”
Andy
“We had a fabulous trip with an excellent local guide, who took great care of us and enthusiastically shared his knowledge of both ancient and recent history, with lots of fascinating personal stories of his own life. We highly recommend this trip — Undiscovered Destinations were great to work with, and we hope to use them again.”
