Ecotourism
Become an eco-traveller
We travel light: respect for the environment, the communities and their rites. Here are our commitments, and yours.
The eco-traveller pact
Your flight's footprint
The flight is most of a trip's impact. Estimate it; offsetting is optional.
Would you like to offset it? It's optional.
eVisas
Your eVisa: we help you step by step
Only each government's official portals, checked one by one on 1 November 2026. Never use look-alike sites: they charge more and your visa is not guaranteed.
The 9 official portals
ECOWAS citizens: no visa for Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea and Senegal. Most of these countries require a yellow fever vaccination certificate. The final decision rests with the authorities.
Leave stress-free: reminders until departure

Who we are
The authentic, lived from within
Ethnic Adventure Tours is an inbound agency based in Benin. For 10 years we have opened the doors of ancestral Africa to travellers: Vodun ceremonies, kingdoms and convents, Egungun and Zangbeto masks, markets and villages no tour bus ever reaches.
We reach the most remote villages because people there know us. Every visit is agreed with the community, the protocol of each rite is respected and part of the trip goes straight back to them.
- AuthenticityNo shows staged for tourists: rites and daily life as they really are.
- Ancestral heritageGuides from the communities explain the meaning of every mask, dance and sacred place.
- Remote villagesOff the usual routes, in small groups and with the consent of our hosts.
