Ganvié

Ganvie, Benin

Photo Gallery

This aerial shot shows just part of Ganvié. This floating village in the north part of Lake Nokoué in Benin is probably the largest lake village in the whole of Africa, counting about 30,000 inhabitants. The houses are built on wooden stills and any sign of land is brought in by the individuals. The fertile lake allows for fishing and small-scale pisciculture, which is the primary subsistence and economic activity for these people. The delicate balance of the environment is changing with climate though, and so does the relationship between communities like these and the ocean.
