About Benin eSIM coverage
Coverage & Networks
4G/LTE via MTN Benin and Moov Africa Benin — Decent in Cotonou and the main towns. Rural northern Benin can be patchy.
How much data do I need?
500 MB–1 GB covers a week. Cotonou's Dantokpa market is vast but navigable; Ganvié lake village boat-tour bookings are best arranged by WhatsApp in advance.
Tip for Benin
Ouidah's Route des Esclaves (Slave Route) is a powerful historical walk - hire a local guide in Ouidah town who can provide context that no app replicates.
