Togo (officially the Togolese Republic) borders Ghana to the west, Benin to the east and Burkina Faso to the north. It extends south to the Gulf of Guinea, on which the capital Lomé is located. Togo is a country rich in cultural and historical heritages, where mythology and reality come together to create an atmosphere of surreality. Festivals and rituals are rooted in ancient times when the Great Kingdoms of Africa were powerful and prosperous and historical events are still present as if frozen in time because of the preserved slavery forts and colonial time buildings. To discover for yourself what Togo is all about, browse through our selection of sustainable tourism projects listed below.
