Destinations of the Black River in Benin
Discover the most beautiful sites along the Black River.
Starting from Adjarra, in the Ouémé department, the Black River is the ideal base to discover southern Benin: the historic town of Ouidah and its Slave Route, the capital Porto-Novo with its Afro-Brazilian museums, Abomey with its royal palaces listed as UNESCO World Heritage, or Ganvié, the stilt city built on Lake Nokoué. Each destination is reachable on a day trip from the Black River, with a certified local guide.
