Welcome to the LOANATRAVEL website, the agency of which I am proud to be the founder and manager.
I am Euloge Kossouho, born in Benin in 1975, and I studied African Literature and History at the University of Abomey-Calavi in my home country.
My father, a veterinarian, instilled in me a deep love and care for animals—beings that, as you may know, hold immense significance in our animist culture. My mother, on the other hand, has always shared with me invaluable lessons filled with wisdom, which I have sought to embody both personally and professionally.
With over 20 years of experience in the tourism industry, my passion for learning and improving never wanes. I have a deep love for the culture of the Gulf of Guinea—its history, traditions, unique religion (Voodoo, which originated in my country), music, gastronomy, and art. Most importantly, I love my job because it allows me to share and introduce these rich cultural elements to people from all over the world.
My journey began with many challenges and a strong determination to become a professional guide. Over time, this passion enabled me to grow and eventually train a team of guides. Alongside my collaborators and service providers, we have built a strong and dedicated team. LOANA TRAVEL has successfully organized numerous trips across Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and other countries in the region. Most importantly, these trips have led to hundreds of satisfied travelers who have learned, enjoyed themselves, and carried with them a piece of me and my team in their hearts—a thought that brings me immense joy.
I strive to continue this journey, and I sincerely hope you will join me in this adventure we call life.
Warm regards,
Euloge KOSSOUHO
