Benin
If you’re after a shot of culture-shock, Benin’s ready to serve it up. History that often reads like fable and beliefs that are never less than fascinating – checking out the bloody past of Abomey’s Royal Palace or a wild voodoo ceremony are adventures that you simply can’t experience anywhere else. Benin is an expert at dishing out encounters with a life less ordinary; for proof, hop on a boat and drift among the houses and floating markets of Ganvie stilt village, or head to Ouidah’s serpent temple, where a mass of writhing, venerated royal pythons await both the faithful locals and stunned visitors.
