Inside Africa's Largest Floating Village! (GANVIE) This is a video about me exploring Ganvie, a lake village in the Benin Republic, Africa, in Lake Nokoué, near Cotonou. I took a trip to this village and explored how people here live. With a population of around 45,000 people, it is probably the largest lake village in Africa and is very popular with tourists. | Tayo Aina

Aujourd'hui, Ganvie est un témoignage vivant de leur résilience et de leur ingéniosité, servant de rappel puissant du triomphe de l'esprit humain sur l'adversité.

Welcome to Ganvie, the "Venice of Africa"! Ganvie is a lake village in Benin, Africa, lying in Lake Nokoué, near Cotonou. With a population of around 20,000 people. The village was built 400 years ago in the era of slavery, right in the middle of Lake Nokoué. It is said that in the 18th century, the indigenous ethnic group of Tofinu built Ganvie, as a tactic to hide away from the Fon tribe- their oppressors.
