Cotonou
Cotonou may not be the true capital city of Benin but it does feel like it. It lies in the southeast of the country, between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Nokoué. In addition to being Benin’s largest city, Cotonou is the seat of government, although Porto-Novo is the official capital.
Cotonou provides a combination of urban energy and African charm. Visitors get to enjoy a number of stunning paradise beaches with golden sand and palm trees. The Pendjari National Park is also a must see in Cotonou and is seen as one of the leading animal reserves in Africa.
Ouidah
Ouidah, previously the chief port of the Kingdom of Whydah, is a city covering an area of 364 km2 on the coast of Benin.
Also, Ouidah is a city that has a mix of influence from the French and the Portuguese due to various events in history. The city is located about 40km away from Cotonou. For those rightfully interested in African history this city should land at the top of their itinerary. It has thrilling museums, such as the Ouidah Museum of History, exploring slavery and voodoo. Ouidah has more to offer than its absorbing history, however. It is also home to a variety of stunning beaches to walk and relax on.
Pendjari National Park
The Pendjari National Park is located in north-western Benin, next to the Arli National Park in Burkina Faso. Named for the Pendjari River, the national park is known for its wildlife and is home to some of the last populations of amazing creatures such as the African forest elephant, lion, hippopotamus, African buffalo, and various antelopes in West Africa. The park is also famous for its richness in birds.
The Pendjari National Park has an area of 2,755 km2 and is part of the WAP complex, a large, protected area in Benin, Burkina Faso and Niger. In March 2009, the park was tentatively nominated for UNESCO’s World Heritage Site program, and in July 2017, it was officially considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of an extension of the WAP Complex.
