Togo — Culture
Customs
Voodoo and animism are central to Togolese indigenous beliefs (though a small percentage of the population are Muslim or Christian) and visitors should respect local customs, as well as religious ceremonies and festivals. Beachwear should be restricted to pools and beaches, and casual, practical clothing is the most appropriate. Women should dress modestly in the more strictly Muslim areas.
Tipping
A service charge is often included in Togo, but if not, 10% is customary. Taxi drivers do not usually expect a tip.
