Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Ganvie, Benin is a stilt city on Lac Nokoue, and is better known as the "Venice of Africa."The only way to see this community, of 22,000 residents, is by boat. We were a group was 30 people so we went in 2 boats. The scenery was amazing... residents in their boats going home with supplies, men fishing,
the mangroves, and buildings. When I asked our guide why these residents lived on the lake she stated, that they were escaping from Africans who were trying to capture them and sell them to Europeans to enslave them. They were never enslaved. Many residents spoke to us, but many did not want their pictures taken. There is a store where you purchase souvenirs, clothing, as well as drinks. Enjoyed this visit in Benin!

This was one of the biggest surprises. We were to visit a village built on stilts. It turned out to be thousands of bamboo huts but also larger objects belonging to the Tofinu tribe. The village was founded in the 17th century. This was the tribe's idea for a safe haven for mines. against slave traders. This vast village on the water looks amazing. Over the centuries, a specific symbiosis between people and Lake Nokoue has developed here. Water transport is widespread here in all possible variants. It is also the basis for the normal functioning of a large village inhabited by approximately 30,000 people. In the village you can also see large concrete buildings such as schools, a mosque and a Christian church. There is, of course, a market on the water, a drinking water collection point, a water ambulance, restaurants and hotels. The place is sometimes called the "Venice of West Africa" but I associate it more with Asia . The place is definitely worth visiting. At the marina there is an office of a private company that deals with water transport. Everyone, from school children to tourists, has to pay for the passage from the village to the marina. The detailed tariff includes various variants depending on the number of people and the time of using the boat.

A visit to Ganvié is absolutely worth it. I only toured southern Benin, but there is no doubt that it is the place that struck me the most. You can only get to the lakeside village by boat. The houses, shops and school etc are all on stilts. The floating market on boats. Where there is soil, they created it to teach children to walk. A unique and fascinating experience.

I ordered a motor taxi to the Ganvie boat station via Gozem - 850 cfa. The journey only takes 30 minutes. An hour's journey by motorboat costs 10,000 cfa and by rowboat (1.5 hours) 8,000 cfa. After 30 minutes, other tourists arrived - two Chinese. This meant that I only paid 5,050 cfa - motorboat with English-speaking guide.
The journey through the stilt village was interesting and at the same time it was impressive what everything is transported on the boats. We also saw a lot of fishermen. I didn't take many photos because I had the impression that some of them didn't want to be photographed. On the way we made a short stop at a souvenir shop - two key rings 3000 cfa. There are certainly better souvenir shops.
Unfortunately I couldn't order a Gozem on the way back (the app only works in Cotounou) and had to take a normal motor taxi: 1,500 cfa.

I went there for work and has no expectation. Hence I was very surprised by how nice and vibrant the place was. So much to see between floating markets, houses, fishing areas, etc. They even have some hotels and small gift shops with locally made stuff (good way to support the local community). Great day out

Managed to organize a boat through Edouard Houmenou +229 96311011 who also acted as a tour guide for our trip and was very knowledgable about the different floating markets, fishing techniques and different villages on the lake including Ganvie. The docks are about 45 minutes from Cotonou so it's an easy day trip. Edouard arranged to take us to a village at the far end of the lake called Dekanmey which has a diety which protects the residents from ligthning. Great trip but unfortunately it rained in the morning the day the trip was organized and there was overcast skies most of the day.

Firstly it's my own village. My family lives there and I spend my week-ends there. I always take my clients there do that they can experience the life style on water. It is just so amazed.

Le lac Nokoue .est le plus grand lac du Bénin (20 sur 10 km) il est situé dans le Sud et la capitale économique Cotonou.est établie entre ses rives et l'océan. Un canal lagunaire ouvert par les français en 1885 a bouleversé son écosystème ,qui est donc de l'eau saumâtre au Sud en période de basses eaux . Il est alimenté en eau douce par la rivière Oueme qui descend des montagnes du Nord et qui se jette dans la lagune de Porto Novo à l'Est qui se déverse dans le lac par une jonction .
Ganvie ,cité lacustre est située au Nord du lac et l'on y accède par barques de l'embarcadère de Calavi . Il convient de négocier le prix de la prestation et de conclure sur des bases claires pour éviter les recours de suppléments au retour.
Avec le Covid ,le site a été partiellement délaissé par les touristes et les prestataires hôtel et restaurant sur place n'ont pas tous remis leur établissement en état fonctionnel . Les chambres d'hôtel n'ont pas toutes le confort minimum et peuvent décevoir ! Les deux restaurants ouverts ont le minimum à vous offrir poisson et poulet avec accompagnement riz frites pommes sautées.
Après un court trajet pour se rendre sur place , on découvre un peu tout et n'importe quoi .
Les cases sont construites sur pilotis et ne sont pas flottantes ce qui leur donne parfois un air de guingois . Les toitures initialement en chaume ont été remplacées par de la tôle souvent rouillée. Assez peu de cases sont en état et certaines menacent ruine. Tout ça pour dire que ce joyaux dépérit et que l'état qui prône le développement touristique serait bien inspiré de s'y intéresser
Ceci dit ,il y a des choses
Intéressantes à voir comme le marché flottant où se rassemblent les vendeuses en barques, les cases colorées ou le cadre est valorise Les enfants qui rentrent de l'ecole en barque et en chanson. Les centres de distribution.d'eau potable où se rassemblent les habitants dans leur barque.
Ici on trouve aussi une église et une mosquée ,la poste ,une administration municipale, etc
Nous avons déjeuné chez Madame M au carrefour . Le poulet était vivant et il a du subir tous les préparatifs pour atterrir dans notre assiette ,fraîcheur garantie mais 1 heure d'attente de la
Terrasse à observer le trafic dans Ganvie. Le poulet, qui est bicyclette, s'est défendu mais on a réussi à en venir à bout avec du riz à 5000 fr la part.

Depending on traffic, you get quickly to the departure point from Cotonou. A great 1hour+ outing to see how people live every day on the water and what their live looks like in 'The Venice of Africa'.

La balade à pirogue sur le lac Nokoué autour du village lacustre de Ganvié est absolument incontournable, magique. Au cœur du Bénin, vous partirez à la découverte d'un endroit surprenant et touchant. Certes, on peut se sentir un peu voyeur mais c'est aussi le propre du tourisme. Mérite plus qu'un détour mais au contraire une journée complète et un repas sur place (Chez Raphael par exemple)

Bonjour
Nous partons la semaine prochaine pour Cotonou à 4 avec 2 enfants. Comment vous êtes vous rendu jusqu'au lac et est ce que vous avez pris un guide une fois sur place ?
Merci
