I haven’t visited the UNESCO site, but visited the land on my own with locals. Price at the entrance is 500cfa for Togolese and 1500cfa for foreigners. DO NOT PAY MORE THAN THAT unless you want a guide. The very unfriendly aged woman at the entrance (apparently she’s always quite a hassle) tried to convince me their guide was mandatory and asked me 11.500cfa.. clearly she wanted the 10k for herself. After I called my local contact everything was solved and I only paid the correct amount (1500) for the entrance to the land, which is all unesco site. I stayed at locals place and visited their Tata and other neighbors tatas. The entire territory is stunning and beautiful to visit on your own. A couple of local guides told me the unesco site itself is quite artificial, but if you do hire a guide you’ll probably have some more information than what I got from the locals (I wasn’t interested in a guide anyways). If you visit the big baobab at the end of the unesco circuit and you want to assist to the traditional dance you can for 2500cfa.

Our experience was a bit mixed. On the one hand, we liked discovering the habitats, the culture, the history etc... On the other hand, I was quite disappointed by the lack of resources allocated to maintaining this cultural site and also to the development of the population directly impacted by tourist visits. The population is a little too insistent in demanding money for all or nothing. They are so insistent that it is very annoying. We used the services of a guide (Claire) who was superb in telling us the history of the people and allowed us to move around without too much inconvenience. It's a place worth a visit; if only to learn the historical facts of this people.
