Benin has two main mobile operators: MTN Benin and Moov Africa Benin. MTN runs the wider 4G network, covering Cotonou, Porto-Novo, Parakou, Abomey, and major towns on the main north-south highway. Moov Africa Benin has 4G in Cotonou and 3G or 2G across secondary towns.
4G speeds in Cotonou average 15 to 35 Mbps on MTN. The city center, Dantokpa Market, and the beachfront areas all have solid signal. Abomey, the historic capital of the Dahomey Kingdom, has 4G in the town center near the royal palaces. Ouidah and its famous Route des Esclaves (Slave Route) have 4G coverage in town.
The northern Atacora Mountains and Pendjari National Park have limited coverage. Natitingou, the gateway town for Pendjari, has 3G to 4G. Inside the park, signal drops to weak 2G or nothing. Download offline maps and any park information before entering. The main road from Cotonou north through Bohicon and Parakou has reasonable 4G coverage at larger roadside towns.
