Park W, Benin, Chutes de Koudou

Ths "Chutes" are 3 or 4 waterfalls that form from August to December and which feed into this now tranquile waterhole. The rocks are used by the tribal chiefs for sacrifices and omens. The chiefs were supportive of the preserve because it protected the environs, the animals and their habitat from hunting and agriculture.
