Tanougou Falls, located near Tanguiéta in northern Benin, is a scenic waterfall flowing from the Atakora Mountains, close to the Pendjari National Park. Cascading from a height of approximately 15 meters, the falls create a natural pool at their base, offering a refreshing spot for swimming. The flow of the falls varies significantly with the seasons, peaking during the rainy months from May to September. Surrounded by lush forest, this site combines natural beauty with proximity to one of West Africa's premier wildlife reserves, making it a popular addition to regional exploration.

Reviews of Chutes de Tanougou

Made of 2 levels, this waterfall is absolutely breathtaking & soothing. Located somewhere in northern Benin Republic; Tanongou community along the Pendjari park route, the Tanongou waterfall is where you go to for some peace & quiet. It’s advisable to go with a local guide. The fees range from 1000cfa & above, depending on your negotiation. The climb to the main waterfall is kind of slippery so be sure to watch your steps.
