Travel - Internal Air Air Togo runs services between Niamtougou and Lom at the weekends. Sea Ferries run along the coast. For details, contact the port authorities. Rail There are services between Atakpam, Blitta and Lom; Kpalim and Lom; and Anho and Lom. Trains run at least daily on each route. Road Traffic drives on the right. Tarred roads run to the border countries and the major northern route is called 'The Highway of Unity'. There are roads linking most settlements, but these are largely impassable during the rainy season. Police checkpoints are frequent and may cause delays. It is advisable to keep windows rolled up and doors locked. Bus/taxi: National bus and taxi systems are reasonably efficient and cheap. Taxis and minibuses are widely available in Lom and shared taxis are available between towns. There is a surcharge for luggage. Drivers do not expect a tip. Cycling: Bicycles can be rented in large towns and often incur less delays than cars. Car hire: This is available in Lom; elsewhere the cost of car hire is very high and it is usually better to hire a taxi. Documentation: An International Driving Permit is required. |
