Note

Please note: Togo is a very-low-income country with very basic infrastructure, and vastly different to the western culture mentality. Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. This excursion involves an extensive amount of walking for approximately 2.5 km (1.55 miles) and driving transfers of 120 minutes each way. Walking over uneven, bumpy and unpaved surfaces with steep inclines. This tour is recommended for guests in good physical condition. This tour is not suitable for pregnant guests, guests with neck/back problems, guests with heart/respiratory conditions, or guests with limited mobility. Guests must be able to hike up inclines for a prolonged period of time, with few breaks. Order of sites visited may vary from description. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes, sun protection and insect repellant is recommended. Anticipate high temperatures and humidity and we recommend staying hydrated by bringing your water bottle. Guests are informed that tips to local guides and drivers are at the guest’s discretion.
