Do you offer single private tours under this itinerary? If so, what is the price for 3* accommodations. Is second half of April a good time to visit.

Thank you for your interest in our very popular tour of Benin, Togo and Ghana. It will be our pleasure to customize the tour for you. In order to customize and price with 3-star hotels, please let us know: Your planned dates of travel, the number of travelers, any other details you wish to add about your travel plans, and we will customize the tour and send for your review. We look forward to confirming your trip to West Africa.

Would it be possible to go on this trip but leave in Lome. I would be 81 years old at the time but am more than used to living and travelling in different and difficult parts of the world.

Yes, you can end your tour in Lome; however, this tour doesn't run throughout the year but it is an annual cultural expedition with the Annual Ouidah Voodoo Festival in Benin which takes place on January 10, every year. This means that you would have to consider your travel dates. If you would also prefer to have a similar itinerary for Benin and Togo excluding Ghana and the Annual Voodoo Festival, we can gladly arrange this as a private tour for you.

I am traveling sol. Does this tour match females traveling solo or is there a single supplement? I'd so, how much is it?

Yes, we are able to match female travelers who are interested in sharing a room. However, if we are not able to find a roommate for you, then a Single Room Supplement of $1,090 applies.
