Koutammakou is a cultural landscape designated in 2004 as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Koutammakou, Togo, December 2, 2024. The Tamberma people are famous for their two-story fortified houses, known as Takienta (Tata, Tata Somba or Ditammari) in which the ground floor houses livestock at night, internal alcoves are used for cooking, and the upper floor contains a rooftop courtyard that is used for drying grain, as well as containing sleeping quarters and granaries. These evolved by adding an enclosing roof to the clusters of huts, joined by a connecting wall. In front of the main Takienta’s entrance, various mud fetishes to protect the home and its inhabitants. These mud-houses are the Tamberma preferred style of living. A woman carries a basket on her head full of « Monkey Bread » which are the edible fruits of the African baobab tree. The fruits are large, oval-to-round, and berry-like in most species (usually less than 10 centimeters), and have a tangy taste.
