How about a trip to Benin
A Brief Summary
The south of Benin is slightly flatter than the north and heavily reliant on the rolling hills and soils for production of subsistence crops and exports of palm oils and cotton. It’s main population hubs are around the coastal region and capital Porto Novo. The beaches to the south are often long, wide and sandy, ideal for relaxing on and whiling away the days… if you could find any amenities on them, or even nearby. This area also forms part of the “Slave Coast”, a region rich in the history of one of humanity’s lowest times
