georeiser Says: Agbodrafo is today one of the voodoo strongholds in Africa where traditions, beliefs and superstitions are a way of life. Witchcraft, wicca and other rituals items can be seen along the streets all over the town. The place is genuine and the voodoo rituals are real.

lemondrop Says: You can rent jet skiis on the grounds on Hotel le Lac, or if you're into something more serene....you can hire a pirogue to take you on a quiet relaxing ride. You will probably want to get over to Togoville while you're on the lake...see my Togoville page for info.
