Workation in Kara: the essentials
Kara was a village called Lama-Kara until the 1970s, when President Gnassingbé Eyadéma, born in nearby Pya, pushed its growth at a crossroads of two trade routes. Today this capital of the Kara Region has about 95,000 people, a university and the Kara River running through it, 413 km north of Lomé. Every July the Evala wrestling festival of the Kabye fills the surrounding hills, and the UNESCO-listed mud tower houses of Koutammakou are within day-trip range. Niamtougou International Airport is about 30 km away, but most people arrive overland on the N1.
