    Asked on April 5th, 2024

    Is it possible to ask for changement in the program of 9 days/8 nights ? My planning would be a solo trip to visit Togo et Bénin and I think for at least 10 days (til 15 days). And between May 1st and May 19th.

    Tour Details

      Yes, we can accommodate your request and arrange for you to depart on the tour as a solo traveler. Here is our recommended program that covers the must-see tourist attractions in West Africa (Benin, Togo, and Ghana).
