The Moba Caves

A few weeks ago I went with some friends to Togo's northernmost regional capital, Dapaong, in part to see a nearby touristy site known as the Moba caves (named after the tribe that built them). They're built into the side of a cliff and were used by the Moba people in the 19th century to avoid attacks and raids by another tribe. There's a view of the caves, a view from the mountaintop right above them and a shot of my friend Helen (who is posted in Dapaong) emerging victorious after climbing the somewhat scary ladder that allows access to the site.
