When traveling to Benin, it is best to remember that there are people who are not trustworthy. In the airports, there are authorities who try to extort from tourist by telling them that their visas have expired. Travelers are advised to be en garde for these people. Check for the validity of your visa and when caught in the situation, assert what you know and be firm.
Another thing to remember when visiting Benin is the food. Travelers are suggested to take note of the places where they eat. Make sure they are sanitary and the ingredients are fresh. This is to ensure that one's health is at its best from the beginning up to the end of the trip.
Aside from these, try to avoid going about all alone as muggers and petty thieves abound on the streets.
