Definition: Togo (also spelled Togu, Toga, or Togo) is a tropical rainforest climate in West Africa, bordering Cameroon, Nigeria, and Guinea-Bissau. It is located on the west coast of Africa between 25Β° N and 36Β° N latitude and about 190 km (118 miles) south of the Equator. The country is named for Togo, a Senegalese king. The climate of Togo can be described as tropical rainforest, with temperatures ranging from 22 to 34Β°C (72-86Β°F). The landscape consists of broad plains, rolling hills, and forests. In the wet season, the air is very humid and warm; in the dry season, there is a drought. Togo has an average annual rainfall of about 1,500 mm (59 inches), which is more than double that of the equatorial zone. The soil is rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium, and sulfur, making it ideal for growing crops like bananas, coffee, cocoa, and tea. The official language is French, and there are two major religious groups: Catholics and Muslims. Togo has a diverse ethnic population with about 35% Hausa, 28% Fulani, 15% Igbo, and 9% Togolese people of African descent. Togo has the highest literacy rate in West Africa at around 76%. However, due to the high cost of education and a lack of infrastructure, many children attend schools outside the capital Accra.
