Travel to Benin: a stunning piece of Africa | TravelGretl


Early 2018 we travelled to Benin for the Hunger Project. They celebrated their 10 year anniversary in this beautiful country, working hand in hand with locals towards a sustainable end of world hunger.

At the end of our trip we got 2 days of to see a bit of the country. Visiting Ganvie in lake Nokoue, and walking the route of the slaves….

  1. Beautiful content you placed up , bless for the content it was informative with beautiful visuals of Benin ! Maybe one day you should travel to Urhobo kingdom or Itsekiri kingdom in Delta state it has very rich history 🙏🏿👍🏿✊🏿😎🧐🤔🎞🎥

  2. I had my DNA done and 25% is Benin and Togo. If that is how the place is today, I can imagine what 5 to 6 generations of my blood had to even endure before slavery. Surprisingly you did not show me the developed modern big city. That is the problem with foreign media. You only show the worst and this is the impression that is left for the world to embrace and as a result we are treated with disrespect.. Why not do a comparison. I know all African countries have modern capital cities and not everybody lives like that. And it is good to see that they have preserved the place where the slaves were kept before their route to slavery. It is ironic that my grandfather was Portuguese. The same race that had to do with some of my forefathers capture. But with genetic inheritance from 7 countries, I just have to accept that I am who I am. Maybe even my personaly has a bit of each. My present family is also a calaloo. Thanks for the video.

  3. Heart pained on seeing slave-trading marketplace. Like to visit this place just to see this place to pray for them. Of course, the people who went as slaves faced lots of hardships and now they are settled in better countries…
