Ganvie is a unique village located on Lake Nokoué in Benin, West Africa. Known as the "Venice of Africa," Ganvie is remarkable for its stilt houses and waterways, where the entire community lives and navigates primarily by boat. The village was established in the 16th or 17th century by the Tofinu people, who sought refuge from the slave hunters of the Dahomey Kingdom.
