Exploring Koutammakou: The Land Of The Batammariba

Located on the border with Togo, this area is home to the Batammariba (or Somba) people.
Famous for its cylindrical clay tower houses (called Takienta) with conical roofs made of leaves or grass, these houses serve as miniature fortresses, deeply reflecting the social life and beliefs of the indigenous people.
