Traveling in Togo

Togo is a hidden gem of West Africa, where vibrant markets, lush landscapes, and untouched beaches create an off-the-beaten-path adventure. It attracts intrepid travelers seeking authentic cultural exchanges, warm hospitality, and a slower-paced exploration of Africa. From the bustling streets of Lomé to the serene hills of Kpalimé, Togo offers a raw, unfiltered experience unlike any other.

Togo’s hosting scene is warm and community-driven, with locals eager to share their culture and traditions with visitors. Backpackers and digital nomads frequent Sofahop’s listings in Lomé and smaller towns, drawn by the affordability and genuine connections hosts provide.

Best for: culture seekers, adventure travelers, budget explorers

Travel tips for Togo

  • 1

    Always carry small denominations of CFA francs, as many local markets and transport options don’t accept large bills.

  • 2

    Visit the Akaba-Ikédè waterfalls near Badou for a refreshing swim in a secluded, natural pool surrounded by palm trees.

  • 3

    Learn a few phrases in Ewe or Mina, as English is rarely spoken outside tourist areas.
