For entry to Togo, most travelers need a visa. This can be applied for online in advance or obtained upon arrival at Lomé, the international airport. We recommend obtaining the visa in advance to avoid potential issues. Also, check the current entry regulations as these may change.

Lomé-Tokoin International Airport (LFW) is the main airport of Togo. It offers connections to several international destinations. For off-road travelers, the airport is ideal for accessing rental cars. Be sure to plan arrival times with onward travel, as road conditions and traffic may vary.

The currency in Togo is the West African CFA Franc (XOF). Credit cards are accepted, but not everywhere; it is advisable to have cash on hand. ATMs are available in major cities, but rare in rural areas. Plan to carry sufficient cash for your off-road adventures as many places only accept cash.

Before traveling to Togo, you should inform yourself about necessary vaccinations, such as for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Yellow Fever. Travel insurance is highly recommended to cover health risks. Check if your insurance covers off-road or adventure activities to ensure comprehensive protection.

To stay connected in Togo, you should purchase a local SIM card. These are available in shops at the airport as well as in mobile stores in the cities. Popular providers are Togo Cel, Moov, and Expresso. Make sure your smartphone is unlocked and bring your passport to complete the purchase. A local SIM will give you access to cheaper rates.
