	HIGHLIGHTS: Kokrobite Beach - Accra - Kpalime - Mt Agou - Klouto - Abomey - Ouidah - Birthplace of Voodoo - Togoville - Lome Relax into West Africa on the golden sands of Ghana, before crossing the border into Togo and heading for lush climes, cooling waterfalls and epic views around Mount Agou. Walk through forest strewn with butterflies and chameleons, and stay at a remote mountain abbey before heading for Benin and the palaces of Abomey, where African kings rich with gold ruled for centuries. Chill out in the stilt village of Ganvie in the middle of a lake then witness the hypnotic ceremonies, music and dance of voodoo in Ouidah. Back in Togo the strange fetish markets of Lome await, before we return to the beach to bliss out some more. Day 1 Kokrobite Beach. Arrive in Accra anytime and head to Kokrobite Beach: swim, surf, wander and kick back with happy easy going locals. Big Milly's Backyard, our beach camp, is a local legend and a great first port of call in West Africa. (Please be aware that there have been incidences of theft along the beachfront in Kokrobite. Please observe the signs at your guesthouse and do not take any valuables with you if you go to the beach). Day 2 - 3 Accra - Kpalime - Mt Agou. Cross the border into Togo and head into the steamy green forest and orange dirt roads of Kpalime. Today we will trek through local villages with magnificent views to the summit of Mt Agou. Also known as Mount Baumann, it is the highest mountain in Togo, at 986 metres. On return, we stop at the beautiful Kpime Falls for a refreshing swim. We stay two nights in this remote mountain region. Day 4 Klouto - Abomey. Get up early - morning is the best time of day to see the butterflies and beautiful views at Klouto. After leaving the cool mountains we cross the border into Benin and continue to Abomey. Day 5 - 6 Abomey - Ganvie Stilt Village. Visit the Palace of Abomey, the former royal seat of the Dahomey kingdom. Take a boat out to Ganvie Stilt Village, set on a huge lake on the border with Nigeria. Watch life unfold by the tranquil waters and stay overnight in a thatched home on stilts. Day 7 Ouidah - Birthplace of Voodoo. Experience the shuffling, writhing, drumming and music of Voodoo while watching a ceremony in its birthplace. See the temple of pythons where snakes are revered and learn about the mystical and largely misunderstood practices of Voodoo. Walk the 'Avenue of Slaves' and see the 'Door of No Return' at the beachfront. Day 8 Togoville - Lome. Cross back into Togo, we visit the cathedral and voodoo shrines of Togoville. Continue to the capital, Lome, where we visit the local fetish market - filled with the bizarre and often gruesome ingredients used by voodoo practitioners. Day 9 - 10 Kokrobite Beach. We cross back into Ghana and spend our final day and night relaxing at Kokrobite Beach. Tour ends the following morning.
