While enticing, Togo’s beaches are not recommended for swimming. Water conditions tend to be dangerous due to strong waves and rip currents.

Towns along the coastline tend to be dangerous at night. Petty crime, theft and pick-pocketing at tourist frequented spots occurs.

Travelers should keep their bags and belongings close to their bodies. Avoid traveling too far from their hotel or lodging at night.

Located roughly 7 miles outside of Kpalime, the waterfalls require a whole day to journey to and from. Admission must be paid at the Association Akatamanso, which is at the entrance of the village of Wome.

The hike itself is about 2 to 3 miles with the reward of refreshing waterfalls at the end.

Here are some essential items to consider for your trip to Togo:

  • Lightweight and sun protective clothing – Since malaria is at risk in Namibia, be sure to pack bug spray. Packing a repellent with at least 20%-30% DEET will keep mosquitoes at bay. You should also bring neutral colored clothing, as this does not attract insects as much as dark or bright clothes.
  • Insect Repellent – Apply mosquito repellent liberally and often. The insects are most active at sunrise and sunset, but pose a risk at all times of day or night.
  • Raincoat – Tropical climate also means plenty of rain. Make sure to pack either a raincoat or umbrella to shield you from wet weather.
