Benin is a country of wonder and mystery, fitting for all levels of adventure and comfort. Its unique mixture of culture, history, geography, and wildlife attracts thousands of travelers in search of the ultimate West African experience. From thrilling zemidjan moped rides to spotting hippos from dug-out canoes, traveling across Benin will surely stimulate visitors' senses and broaden their horizons. The authors Felicie Reid and Erika Kraus provide the necessary elements to tour the country and to appreciate the diverse cultures of the wonderful people who live there. Plunge into the steaming, turbulent streets of Cotonou to discover the city's lively markets and nightlife, all the while enjoying access to international foods and air-conditioned hotels. Explore the rural settlements along the mighty Mono River to the west, or hike in the picturesque granite hills of the central Collines region. Lounge on the sunny, palm-fringed beaches of Grand Popo, and re-live the era of the Dahomey Kingdom and the slave trade in the historical cities of Ouidah and Abomey. Embark on a veritable wildlife safari in the national parks of the north, and marvel at the vast plains of the Sahel in the upper Atakora and Alibori regions. Above all, the resilient spirit, charm, and vitality of the Beninese people will captivate visitors and keep them coming back for more. Trouble viewing the preview below?

There is a good section on the rstaurant and bars of Cotonou but very little or hardly anything about the route des pecheurs along the sea between Cotonou and Ouidah which nowadays has a lot to offer hotel and restaurant wise. On the other hand the auhtors cover some villages which are not mentioned in other guidebooks which is nice as the traveller realises there is more to Benin than just Cotonou, Porto Novo or any of the other standard sights. The authors show a good insight into the country and I can only recommend this book to all Benin-visitors. - Freischwimmer, Amazon.com
