Located in the Tandjouaré Prefecture of northern Togo, the caves of Nôk and Mamproug are historical sites featuring over 300 structures built between the 17th and 19th centuries for defensive purposes. These caves, constructed by the Konkomba, Moba, and Mamprussi peoples, include cylindrical and oblong adobe granaries that stand up to two and a half meters high. The structures were designed to protect crops from plunderers and are made from local materials like clay, straw, and stones. The site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2000 and updated in 2021 to include additional granaries.

Only accessible by motorcycle or off-road vehicle. Long waiting time because the person responsible first has to be found to unlock it. But super interesting.

This is a place everyone needs to visit to know more about slave trade and the impact it had on communities.
