Venice: A Second Time Around

Venice has always been my dream city. I got to visit for the first time a few years ago when I toured some parts of Europe. I’m afraid I didn’t do the city much justice at the time and I have always longed to return. Luckily, I got the chance to do so recently. I got the chance to revisit the city of my dreams, only this time, it had an entirely different name and was in a completely different continent. This time, I returned to Ganvie – The Venice of Africa!

Ganvie
OK, not a gondola but very very close!

Ganvie is a stilt village built on the Lake Nokoué in Benin Republic. It isn’t the only one of its kind but it is the largest, being home to about 20,000 people, and the most visited on the Lake. In a lot of ways, Ganvie is very similar to Makoko – also sometimes referred to as the ‘Venice of Africa’, but I found this place to much cleaner than its Nigerian counterpart and more primeval than the city it is nicknamed after.

The village also contains schools, churches, restaurants and hotels where tourists can spend the night. Most choose however to visit from the cities nearby. I visited from Fidjrosse with Mark – my couchsurfing host and the drive to Ganvie took about 30 minutes.

Ganvie boatWe completed our visit in about two hours which was just enough time to cruise on the lake, stop over at two places to get drinks and souvenirs before finding our way back to the mainland. Overall, my second visit to ‘Venice’ was just as interesting as the first!

Some points to note when visiting Ganvie:

  • Take pictures discreetly. If you want to take pictures of people, you may want to seek their permission first. Some hold the believe that taking their picture is akin to stealing their souls.
  • Plan to visit in the morning. We had the best weather and very few tourists when we visited.

Have you visited Ganvie or any other floating village? What was your experience like?

  1. Hey tourist!!! I was wondering for a moment…if u were in Venice. HAHAHA!!! you got me there…What’s interesting about this piece is the way you captured poverty in its original form. I didn’t get to visit Ganvie but will make it next time. Thank you for this piece and keep exploring…

    1. Haha, I wish! I would really love to visit Venice again but for now, Ganvie would be my Venice. 🙂 I’d be on the lookout for your post about it when you do get to visit. Thanks for stopping by…

  2. Beautiful photos that underlies the poverty going on in that region. Beautiful but sad. Thanks for capturing it all. Greetings!

    1. Hiya, thanks for your comment. I really hope the people who live there somehow benefit from the inflow of tourists to their village.

  3. I literally laughed aloud when it hit me that it wasn’t actually Venice.

    Great Post.

    I do wonder if there’s a floating city in every African country.

    Would be interesting to note how come.

    1. A little click bait, sorry, LOL. I think most countries along the coast might have a floating village cos of their proximity to the water. This is my uninformed guess anyway.

I love to hear from you, Leave a comment here!

In this Nairobi Weekender Series, I'll be sharing some of the best weekend trips you can take from Nairobi.

Think beach getaways, hiking, camping, safaris and more! All within a short distance from the city!

In this video, we're visiting Amboseli National Park. This weekend getaway is perfect for a long 3-day weekend. Staying at least two nights in the area will give you enough time to enjoy a safari and your accommodation.

I recommend booking a place with a view of a waterhole - with this, you might even be tempted to skip the drive in the park completely!

Let me know what other places you'd love to see and please share your best weekend or day trips from Nairobi in the comments! 💬

This weekend staycation was literally life-saving! I feel so grateful that I live in a country where weekends like this one are possible. Which means I don't have to go far to find peace 🕊

Once again, I've found myself back in K-drama heaven! 🥰 I had left K-drama for anti-MLM and true crime content on YouTube for a bit, but this drama (Our Unwritten Seoul)? It dragged me right back in!

It reminds me of the golden days when Alchemy of Souls and Extraordinary Attorney Woo were airing at the same time! Those were weekends I eagerly looked forward to! 😂

In a season of my life that's felt a little uncertain, this drama is a small spark, something warm (and certain?) to look forward to every week(end).

If you're watching it too, let me know in the comment section. But no think pieces about what you don't like 😭 Let's all just enjoy this in peace and hope there's a very sweet and happy ending waiting for us in the next 2 weeks! 😂

And if you're not a kdrama fan, that's okay too! Maybe you'll enjoy this quick guide to Seoul and beyond! 🇰🇷🚀
