Would it be possible to go on this trip but leave in Lome. I would be 81 years old at the time but am more than used to living and travelling in different and difficult parts of the world.

Yes, you can end your tour in Lome; however, this tour doesn't run throughout the year but it is an annual cultural expedition with the Annual Ouidah Voodoo Festival in Benin which takes place on January 10, every year. This means that you would have to consider your travel dates. If you would also prefer to have a similar itinerary for Benin and Togo excluding Ghana and the Annual Voodoo Festival, we can gladly arrange this as a private tour for you.

I am traveling sol. Does this tour match females traveling solo or is there a single supplement? I'd so, how much is it?

Yes, we are able to match female travelers who are interested in sharing a room. However, if we are not able to find a roommate for you, then a Single Room Supplement of $1,090 applies.

Valentina
· February 3rd, 2020
We had very good accommodation and good transport, a knowledgeable guide and an excellent driver. The tour was well organised. However, I believe, that the itinerary should be improved. On some of the days the sightseeing was only for half of the day and one day in the middle of the tour was totally free.
