When looking for Benin hotel deals, you should keep in mind that a large percentage of the country’s almost 10-million citizens live close to the narrow strip of Atlantic coastline. The country itself covers close to 112,000-square kilometers, however, so while the coastal areas are heavily populated, those who want to escape from the hustle and bustle can explore wide expanses of wilderness and unspoiled landscapes by heading inland. In fact, when you look for the best Benin hotel packages inland, you can find great rates close to inland attractions like Pendjari National Park. This park sits in northern Benin and is home to a wide range of mammals that you can view in their natural habitat, including elephants, hippos, lions, and others. Not far from Pendjari National Park, you can also explore the wildlife and natural beauty at neighboring Parc National d’Arli.

While there is ample opportunity to find solitude and to explore the natural beauty of Africa when you head inland in Benin, you may want to look for a cheap Benin hotel deal with special prices in the more heavily populated coastal areas. In Cotonou, for example, you can explore historical and cultural attractions that are fascinating. Cotonou is Benin’s capital city. Located right on the coast, you can take in ocean views while you explore the city. A must-see attraction here is the Grand Marche du Dantokpa, a huge marketplace known for its handcrafted products made locally like batiks, jewelry, and other crafts. Porto Novo is another coastal city, but unlike Cotonou, it is known for its unique blend of native and Brazilian cultures. Here, you can learn more about the Yoruba people with a visit to the Museum of Ethnography and explore the famed King Toffa’s Palace. Ouidah is a living-history town located close to Porto Novo as well. You should also make plans to stop in Aborney to explore the palatial ruins of the Dahorney kingdom. These are just some of the captivating locations that you can explore when you book a room at a Benin hotel.
