Tanougou Falls is a waterfall in the Atakora mountains on the edge of the Pendjari Game Park in the north of Benin[2] about 20 km northeast of Tanguiéta.
The waterfall is about 15 meters high and has a purported flow rate of 1.5 m3 per second, though this is subject to great seasonal fluctuation.[3] The flow is strongest during the rainy season, which lasts from May to September.[4]
The natural pool at the base of the waterfall is popular for swimming.[5]
