Cotonou - Post Report Question and Answers

Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?

Not as much as elsewhere. White expats are welcome here and there is a long and rich history of descendants of slaves returning to Benin as tourists or to resettle. Women face prejudice but (generally) not hostility. - Feb 2020
