Excursion Contonou city exploration tour at Cotonou

Discover the vibrant city of Cotonou, plunged into constant traffic chaos caused by thousands of zemidjans (moto-taxis) wearing purple or yellow uniforms. As a consequence, the city follows the rhythm of the traffic lights pausing and restarting those zemidjans all over the city. Enjoy the intense show as you explore this fast-paced city.

On your half-day tour, make a visit to the Zinsou Foundation, the first private Beninese foundation dedicated to Contemporary African Art founded in June 2005. Started as a family initiative, the Zinsou Foundation remains deeply involved in cultural and social activities. As a place of exhibition, the Zinsou Foundation tries its best to publicize a dynamic African art too often thought to belong to an old golden age.

Make the return trip to the ship.
