Togo may be one of Africa's smallest and least known countries, but there's more to it than you can imagine.

If you enjoy hiking while on vacation, then Togo is for you. This diverse country has everything to explore on foot from forested hills to huge coastal lakes. There's even green-yellow savanna in the north and rugged scenery in the south. When it comes to beaches, Togo isn't the first place many people think of. However, it has beautiful white sand and palm trees, so there is a great selection of beaches to choose from. Two of the most popular are Lome Beach and Aneho Beach. The capital city of Lome, a cultural melting pot on Africa's west coast, is well worth a visit. Be sure to check out the nightlife, restaurants, bars and bustling markets during your stay. With so many different cultures in Togo, the country is also referred to as Miniature Africa.
