virtual journey of Togo Togolese flag

This virtual journey was transferred to the Cool Planet website from On the Line. Much of the information here relates to the time when the millennium dawned.

One of the smallest countries in West Africa, never more than 120km wide at any point, Togo is a long narrow country stretching up from the lively maritime region on the Gulf of Guinea to the hot, dry savannahs of the remote North-west.

Click on the buttons on the left to find out about the subject of your choice, or go to the guide book, where you can find background information and facts and figures on Togo. To test your knowledge you can try out the Togolese quiz.

On the Line would like to thank Mike Rimmer, who kindly provided some of the material and all of the photographs for this virtual journey.
