Getting There
-
Car Rental
If you're traveling in a rented car, head towards the city of Lomé, which is approximately a 1-hour drive from the capital. Once in Lomé, take the Route Nationale No. 1 heading north. After about 30 minutes, you will see signs directing you to Lake Togo. Follow the signs for another 15 minutes until you reach the lake area. Make sure to have a map or GPS for navigation.
-
Public Transportation - Taxi
From Lomé, you can take a taxi to Lake Togo. Head to the main taxi stand in Lomé (notably near the Grand Marché). Negotiate the fare with the driver before starting the trip. The ride will take approximately 1 hour. Be sure to ask the driver to take you directly to Lake Togo for convenience.
-
Public Transportation - Shared Taxi (Benskin)
Another option from Lomé is to take a shared taxi (locally known as 'Benskin') to Lake Togo. Head to the main station where these taxis operate, usually found near the central market. The fare is generally cheaper than a private taxi but be prepared to wait for the taxi to fill up with passengers. The journey will take about 1 hour.
-
Bus
You can also take a bus from Lomé to the Lake Togo area. Look for buses heading towards Aného or Agbodrafo. The buses leave from the central bus terminal. The bus ride costs very little (usually around 500-1000 CFA) and takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on road conditions. Once you arrive at your stop, you may need to take a local taxi to reach the lake itself.
