Kara is the capital of the Kara Region in Northern Togo, where the majestic Kara River snakes its mesmerizing way through the city. The city is buzzing with marketplaces, pubs, and luxury hotels to enjoy, and for nature lovers, majestic Parc Sarakawa lies just beyond Kara's borders, easily accessible as a day trip. Sprawling over 607 hectares, this park is teeming with antelope and buffalo as they roam freely beside ostriches and zebras. Moving further afield, travellers will be enchanted by Koutammakou; 50 000 hectares of UNESCO-protected land in Kandé, housing Batammariba tower houses - the iconic symbols of the region. For the artistically inclined, Musée AFRICART Kara, the museum for the art of African masks and sculptures, is an ideal stop to admire the breathtaking artistry of different cultures of Africa.
