Togo Mountains

[1] The African wild dog, Lycaon pictus, was historically found in this region but may now be extirpated from this locale.

[3] Mont Sokbaro, widely cited as the highest point of Benin is part of the Atakora Mountains.

To the north of the Togo Mountains, there is undulating savannah, creased by the broad, meandering valley of the Oti River, a tributary of the River Volta, which flows through Lake Volta and into the Gulf of Guinea in Ghana.

Several tributaries to this river system flow from the northern side of the Togo Mountains.

The central and southern sides of the mountains drain into tributaries of the Mono River, which flows into the Gulf of Guinea through swampland on the borders of Togo and Benin.
