The good news is, if you need to purchase an eSIM for a different country, you can do that on our website (yep the one you're on right now) in just a minute or two.
Our Benin travel eSIMs are data-only meaning you can only use them for internet and not calling or SMS messages, unless you use an internet based messaging service such as WhatsApp.
Connectivity: If you're having connectivity issues with your Benin travel eSIM check out our eSIM troubleshooting guide for a troubleshooting process or of course contact us and we will get you sorted ASAP.

Top 3 things to do in Benin
Discover the History of Ouidah
Ouidah is one of the most historically significant cities in West Africa, offering a deep dive into the country’s past. It was a major hub during the transatlantic slave trade, and today, you can walk the Route of the Slaves, a memorial path leading to the Door of No Return. Visit the Ouidah Museum of History, housed in an old Portuguese fort, to learn about the region’s colonial history. The city is also known for its deep ties to Vodun (Voodoo), and every January, the Voodoo Festival attracts visitors from around the world, celebrating one of Benin’s most important spiritual traditions.
Explore Pendjari National Park
For an unforgettable wildlife experience, head to Pendjari National Park, one of West Africa’s best safari destinations. Located in northern Benin, the park is home to elephants, lions, hippos, antelopes, and some of the last remaining West African cheetahs. Unlike the crowded safaris of East Africa, Pendjari offers a more secluded and authentic experience. You can take a guided game drive through the savannah, spot animals in their natural habitat, and enjoy breathtaking scenery. Whether you’re a nature lover or a photographer, Pendjari provides an incredible opportunity to witness Africa’s wildlife up close.
Visit Ganvie, the Floating Village
Nicknamed the 'Venice of Africa,' Ganvie is a fascinating village built entirely on stilts in the middle of Lake Nokoué. Over 20,000 people live in this water-based community, using canoes to navigate between houses, schools, and markets. The village was originally founded by the Tofinu people as a safe haven from slave traders, and it remains a unique cultural landmark. Take a boat tour through the village, interact with locals, and experience a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries. It’s a peaceful and eye-opening destination that showcases Benin’s rich history and traditions.
