Journeys
Four programmes built on the same coast. Different durations, different angles, the same accompaniment.
Heritage and Routes operates four signature programmes from Cotonou — a 12-day former Slave Coast journey, a 7-day Vodun journey, a 5-day Voodoo Discovery, and a 10-day custom programme tailored to your group. Each programme is accompanied by initiated practitioners, scholars and elders. Each is designed for groups of 4 to 10. Each is anchored in the same editorial discipline.
— Four programmes
Four ways to walk the coast

Custom Benin Togo Ghana
Tailored programme built around your group’s angle, pace, and dates. Discovery call, proposal, iteration, confirmed program.
— By country
Prefer to start from a country rather than a programme? Our journeys in Benin cover the port of Ouidah and its Slave Route, the royal palaces of Abomey, and Vodun Days each January.
— Beyond the programmes
Read the editorial heritage hub.
The journeys are anchored in a broader editorial framework — Vodun cosmology, the slave-trade entanglement, the diaspora. The Heritage hub holds the deeper reading.
