Benin, officially the Republic of Benin, is a country in Western Africa, formerly known as Dahomey or Dahomania. It has a small coast line with the Bight of Benin in the south, borders Togo in the west, Nigeria in the east, and Burkina Faso and Niger in the north. It has no particular connection to Benin City or the Kingdom of Benin, the source of the famous Benin Bronzes.

Benin is an exciting and fascinating country, nestled between Togo and Nigeria. It's a beautiful nation (formerly known as Dahomey) with an extensive cultural history (birthplace of voodoo) and a relatively stable democracy.
