Grand Popo and
Ouidah. In Cotonou, several hotels have swimming pools, and tennis is available at the Club du Benin and sailing at the Yacht Club. A dug-out canoe or motorboat can be hired on Nakoue Lagoon.
WildlifeThe country’s two national parks,
Pendjari and
‘W’, are the best places to view wildlife. For further details, see the
