Road from Burkina Faso to Benin crossing at Porga
Hello. We are 2adventurers from Slovakia traveling by motorcycle towards South Africa via the following route: Mauritania-Mali-Burkina Faso-Benin Nigeria etc. Have anyone heard about crossing the border from Burkina Faso to Benin at Porga? Some actual information on this road will be a great help for us. Is there some campsites ore safe place to sleep after Ouagadougou towards Benin border? Thank you very much. Fero Krina and Slovakia.

Fada N'Gourma there's La Belle Etoile on the way into town on the left after the fuel station, basic but clean rooms and great breakfasts, not sure if Alfred is in Burkina or overseas at the moment but it should be open
The border at Porga is fine, done it a few times. Just after Porga is Tanguieta and again before town on the left is a lovely auberge which you can probably camp at (although the rooms are very reasonably priced). They also offer tours up to the Park too
Natitingou wasn't great in the accomodation stakes, seem to remember staying there once in a windowless room for the night & finding food wasn't easy!
Lovely crossing to Togo from there via the Tata Somba villages and the Beninois border at Boukoumbe then onto Nadoba and Kara!
Bonne route

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
