Walls of blood and a throne of skulls, temples of serpents and the birthplace of voodoo – if you’re after a jolt of culture-shock, Benin’s ready to serve it up. History that reads like fable and beliefs that are never less than fascinating – checking out the bloody past of Abomey’s Royal Palace and a wild voodoo ceremony in Ouidah are adventures that you simply can’t experience anywhere else. And elsewhere, Benin boasts some more traditional African delights: check out unspoilt Pendjari’s big game and plentiful birdlife before hitting Grand Popo’s golden beach.
