The Tourist Attractions of Djougou:

Officially, the language of Benin is French but there are dozens of local languages spoken as well. Around Djougou, people may speak Fula or Baatonum instead. You should do fine with most businesses in French though.

Oueme Superieur Forest
The Oueme Superieur Forest is the largest protected area that is still within a short drive of Djougou and it is park that is richly populated with wildlife. It’s heavily forested and home to several different species of monkeys, crocodiles and herds of small antelopes, and bird species have been counted into the hundreds. One of the main highways that lead out of the city will take you to the southern border of the park, so it is easy to get to. The Ouari Maro Forest Park is on the other side of the same highway.

Ouari Maro Forest
This is actually the southern portion of the Oueme Superieur Park, and you will find a continuation of the same environment with mostly the same wildlife living here. It continues to extend south into the Monts Kouffe Forest as well, if you have the time for further trekking.

Taneka Villages
A traditional Taneka village is just a few kilometres outside of the city, and it is a popular spot for visitors who want to see a little different view on Benin culture. It’s not a large place but the round thatched-roof huts are quite a contrast to the otherwise modern city of Djougou.

Parakou
Not too far from Djougou on the other side of the Oueme Superieur Park is the city of Parakou. It is a little larger and has a few attractions of its own. There is an outdoor museum where you can see a reconstructed village of Batanou buildings, and the Grand Marche Azeke is a very large marketplace with hundreds of vendors.

When Should You Visit?:

Like most of Benin, Djougou is always hot though some months will be even more so. If you are looking for cooler weather, plan your trip for July or August. It will generally be around 29C (84F) in the daytime for those months. At the other end of the year, February and March will reach at least 35C (95F). At any time of the year, the evenings will cool down a lot for a more comfortable atmosphere.
