We invite visitors to Ngoketunjia to stay amongst the local people in homestay schemes and sample our unique culture. Stay amongst the Fulani people, in their unique eco-lodges amongst the untouched beauty of the mountains and learn about the traditional life styles of the nomadic cattle rearing people of Africa . Or stay in the palace amongst the many wives of the Fon (King)  and sample the tradition of the semi-Bantu royalty. Or stay amongst the villagers and learn about traditional handicrafts from fishing, to palm wine tapping or farming.

During your stay, you will help the community by participating in development projects. Projects vary from teaching at the schools, helping at the hospitals, working at the palace on restoration and cultural development,  working on infrastructural development projects in the farms  and in the village and many more.
