My wanderlust venom took me to Benin Republic during the last Sallah break and boy I enjoyed myself to the fullest. Benin Republic is actually the first 'international' country I will ever visit (lol). This post is a guide to how you can you can have a nice time when you decide to go to Benin Republic!
Get your Passport and Yellow Card
If you want to avoid any form of wahala or paying extra money at the border, make sure your Passport and Yellow are up-to-date! You can get your yellow card at Port Health office at along International Airport Road. Go along with a photocopy of your passport bio page and N1,000. This process takes 30 minutes max. And your passport should be gotten at any Immigration office.

Lodge at Casa Del Papa
The Casa Del Papa Resort is located in Ouidah, Benin Republic and personally, its one of the most beautiful resorts I have seen so far. Clean beach, warm hospitality, great views on both the ocean and the lagoon front, beautiful chambers (particularly love the yellow colors), beautiful pool area, nice restaurant/bar setup, and yes, they have wifi! A very great place to relax and also access interesting tourist sites in the town. Let me allow the pictures to do the rest of the talking
Give your arm a nice work out with the Kayaking facility available when you lodge at Casa Del Papa. Beautiful experience. You will love it
Visit the Python Temple and Try on a Snake
I can't even believe I am saying this because I hate/fear snakes. I cringe at the sight of ordinary worms. But guess what, I visited the snake temple and tried on a snake. It was a scary-fun experience for me, it can be for you too
