Lome - Post Report Question and Answers
What have been the highlights of your time in this country? Best trips or experiences?
We have absolutely loved living in Togo. The people are the most kind, generous, gracious, and welcomimg we have seen in Africa. There are so many opportunities to explore, to be in nature, to do different things, and to have a good experience. Despite challenges such as heat, malaria, poor air quality at times, and difficulties withpower/water/internet etc, it really is a hidden gem and life can be really great. We will forever hold Togo in our hearts, and all the memories we made in Lome and Kpalime especially. Our domestic employees will be family forever, and we will never forget all the wonderful artisans, providers, and coaches who made our time special. - Aug 2025
Best trips are to Kpalime but in this region there is a lot to explore. Togo is not a very tourist friendly country and the roads are not the easiest to travel on. If you can communicate then road trips are fantastic. - Mar 2019

We visited Mauritius Island since we were in that part of the world. I improved my French and helped a lot of people. Even though there were some issues there, I miss Togo and I cherish my Togolese friends I made there. - Sep 2017
