Ganvie, Benin
Discover Ganvié, Benin's iconic stilt village on Lake Nokoué, built centuries ago as a refuge from slave raiders. Experience a unique waterborne culture.
The best time to visit Ganvié is during the dry season from November to February, when rainfall is minimal and boat navigation is smooth. Avoid the peak heavy rainy seasons from April to July and September to October, when storms on Lake Nokoué can make boat trips choppy and unpleasant.Explore →
