Place to Go Introduction Introduction Page
Benin's West African heritage offers numerous attractions for discovery by the interested tourist. Travelers here will find a microcosm of Africa's wonders: rhythmic folk dances and elaborate ceremonies; vast national parks and nature reserves; varied animal life and changing landscapes; groves of coconut trees set upon sandy beaches; exotic foods and beautiful handicrafts; and, most importantly, a warm, hospitable people. Benin's geography, culture and heritage varies from region to region. The southern part of Benin is more heavily populated and more developed, while the northern is less so, and thereby can be said to have a more "traditional" appeal; it also is the best spot for wildlife viewing, as Benin's two major game parks are located there. Many visitors begin their journeys in the south, which is made up of three main "departements" along the coastline: the Mono, bordering Togo on the west; the Atlantique in the center, and the Ouémé to the east, bordering Nigeria. The Atlantique is home to Cotonou, Benin's economic capital and the site of the major airport. Here, tourists will find great shopping, a wide variety of dining choices, museums and cultural centers and many opportunities for people-watching. Also in the Atlantique are a variety of day trips one can make from Cotonou, such as a tour of Ganvié, where traditional thatched houses sit on stilts over a lagoon; or a day spent in Ouidah, the former slave post and "Voodoo" capital of Benin. The Mono region contains, among other things, some of Benin's most beautiful beaches. The Ouémé is home to Porto Novo, Benin's nominal capital.

    http://www.atlapedia.com/online/countries/benin.htm
    OFFICIAL NAME: Republic of Benin
    CAPITAL: Porto Novo (Official) and Cotonou (Economic and Political)
    SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT: Multiparty Republic
    AREA: 112,622 Sq Km (43,484 Sq Mi)
    ESTIMATED 2000 POPULATION CLIMATE: Benin has a tropical climate with three climatic zones. (1.) The northern zone which has two seasons the wet season from July to September and the dry season which is hot with very low humidity. (2.) The central zone which has two wet seasons, a long one between March and June and a short one between October and mid November as well as a long dry season between November and March. (3.) The coastal zone to the south which has a steady temperature with rainfall occurring throughout the year especially during the Guinean Monsoon between May to October. The prevailing wind is the Saharan Harmattan, a hot dry dust laden wind that blows from the northeast and occurs between December to March. Average annual precipitation varies between 960 mm (38 inches) in the north and 1,340 mm (53 inches) in the south. Average annual temperature ranges in Cotonou are from 23 degrees Celsius (73 degrees Fahrenheit) in August to 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit) in May. PEOPLE: Around 99% of the population are Black Africans of 42 ethnic groups. The four largest which constitute 54% of the population are the Fon, the Adja, the Bariba and the Yoruba. The 42 groups can be divided into five broad cluster groups (1.) the Voltaic, (2.) the Sudanese, (3.) the Fulani, (4.) the Ewe and (5.) the Yoruba. There is also a small European community, of which the French constitute the largest group.

    THE GEOGRAPHY OF SICKLE CELL DISEASE: OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNDERSTANDING ITS DIVERSITY
    Graham R. Serjeant, MD, FRCP Address reprint requests and correspondence to Dr. Serjeant: MRC Laboratories (Jamaica), University of the West Indies, Kingston 7, Jamaica, West Indies. Accepted for publication 27 November 1993. The sickle cell gene is now known to be widespread, reaching its highest incidence in equatorial Africa, but occurring also in parts of Sicily and Southern Italy, Northern Greece, Southern Turkey, the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, especially the Eastern Province, and much of Central India (Figure 1). This distribution is determined by the occurrence of the sickle cell mutation and its selection by falciparum malaria. Studies of the structure of DNA surrounding the beta globin locus reveal that the sickle cell gene is associated with several DNA structures probably representing different ancestral populations. The most likely interpretation is that the sickle cell mutation is a relatively recent occurrence that has occurred independently in several different populations. Falciparum malaria then acted as a selective factor, increasing the prevalence of the gene because people inheriting the sickle cell gene from one parent and a gene for normal adult hemoglobin from the other parent (sickle cell trait) were less likely to die from malaria and so more likely to survive and pass on their genes. Over the generations, the sickle cell trait has therefore reached high frequencies in malarious areas. The factor in common to the distribution of the sickle cell gene is therefore malaria and not African ancestry.

    Benin: Overview Benin is a developing West African country. Its capital city is Porto Novo; however, the city of Cotonou is the main port and largest city, site of the international airport and most government, commercial, and tourist activity. Tourist facilities are available in Cotonou but are not fully developed elsewhere. The ocean currents along the coast are extremely strong and treacherous (a rough surf and a strong undertow) and result in several drownings each year.
    ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: A passport and visa are required. Travelers should obtain the latest information from the Embassy of the Republic of Benin, 2737 Cathedral Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008, telephone (202) 232-6656. Overseas, inquiries should be made at the nearest Beninese Embassy or Consulate. Travelers who intend to visit Nigeria should obtain Nigerian visas prior to arriving in Benin as the Nigerian Embassy in Cotonou may decline to consider applications for visas by U.S. citizens not resident in Benin.
