So, you’ve seen my wild boat trip from Lagos to Benin Republic — military checkpoints, muddy adventures, and all. But what I didn’t show you are the mistakes that could’ve ruined the trip.
In this video, I’m revealing the top 5 things to avoid if you’re planning to cross into Benin Republic — whether by boat or road. From a serious mistake that could get you sent back at the border to costly money mishaps, this guide is everything I wish I knew before my trip.
Mistake #1 is the reason some travelers get detained. Don’t skip it.
If you’re planning this journey, watch till the end — it might save you a lot of stress!
