Togo Itinerary Planner

Togo is a narrow country, long from the coast to the dry north, and its places sit in loose pockets with plenty of road between them. Around Lomé, beaches and markets like Akodessawa Fetish Market cluster within a short hop of each other, while the Koutammakou Cultural Landscape Visitor Area is far up-country among the mud-walled tower houses. Dust, red earth and heat come with the distance, and the planner groups nearby stops so you earn more time at each place and spend less of it in transit.

Pick your trip length, your interests and a style and pace, and the planner turns real Togo locations into a day-by-day route that makes sense on a map. First it clusters nearby places together, so you spend a morning wandering one area instead of losing a day to a long ride back across the country. Then it picks one sensible direction through those clusters, so you move steadily along rather than zigzagging, and each night you wake up closer to where you are headed. Finally, each stop gets time based on its type and on how many other places sit around it: a city or town with several attractions nearby becomes a base where you stay longer, and the smaller spots around it turn into day trips. Take Lomé. With beaches, markets and landmarks all close together, it earns several nights, you unpack once, and you come back each evening to the same street, the same grilled fish and the same sea breeze.
