3. How to Book Your Seat


Booking is simple!

Click the WhatsApp icon at the bottom-right corner of your screen and send us your travel date.

We will arrange your transportation and provide you with the necessary details, including your departure or pickup point, timing, and other practical information.

To help us organize your journey, please include:


  • Your preferred travel date
  • Your departure location
  • Your destination
  • The number of passengers
  • Whether you need a hotel pickup in Lomé

Our vehicle has limited seating, so we recommend booking early, especially during the busy Vodun Days period. Please wait for confirmation of your seat and travel arrangements before heading to the departure point.


4. Important Travel Documents: Prepare Before You Cross the Border


Before traveling between Togo and Benin, make sure you have all the documents required for your journey.

Depending on your nationality and immigration status, these may include:


  • A valid passport or other accepted travel document
  • The appropriate visa or entry authorization, where required
  • Applicable health documents, including proof of yellow fever vaccination where required

Returning to Togo? Check Your Visa Conditions


If you entered Togo on a single-entry visa, leaving the country to visit Benin may affect your ability to re-enter Togo.

If your return requires another entry, ensure that your visa or other authorization permits it. You may need a multiple-entry visa or another valid authorization, depending on your circumstances.

Entry requirements vary according to nationality and individual immigration status. Check with the relevant official authorities before departure.

Our cross-border assistance helps you prepare for the journey, but it does not guarantee entry into either country. Passengers are responsible for ensuring that their travel documents are valid and meet the applicable requirements.


5. Discover Benin During Vodun Days


Vodun Days is an opportunity to discover Benin's rich cultural and spiritual heritage through ceremonies, music, artistic performances, and cultural activities.

Ouidah is a major destination for the celebrations, while Cotonou offers accommodation, restaurants, and opportunities to explore urban life in Benin.

Whether you are traveling alone, with friends, or as part of a group, our shared shuttle makes it easier to organize your cross-border journey and focus on enjoying the experience.
