Hi,
A friend and I want to do a Togo-Benin loop by moped in early October for about 15 to 20 days.
We're looking for info and tips on:
1 / Moped rental places
2 / The most scenic route
3 / Accommodations—simple but clean, possibly homestays
And anything else you think might be useful.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Didier
If anyone's interested, I got back a month ago from a nearly 3-week motorcycle trip on a 125cc bike through Benin and Togo.
I’ve attached an overview of my route. There was no planning at all before leaving—everything was done a bit on the fly.
I arrived and left from Cotonou. I rented the bike from a garage through Thibault (already known on this forum). However, it was nothing but hassle with the bike; I had to pretty much rebuild/replace all the parts. A real time-waster on an already long and exhausting route.
The main roads are extremely good, and the tracks are too (dry season).
Money is a bit tricky to manage since 10,000 CFA notes are really hard to use (even at gas stations).
Crushing heat in February—it was really tough to sleep every night.
