Plan your Nigeria trip with total confidence

Zuma Rock

Zuma Rock is a 725-metre monolith rising sharply from the plain along the Abuja-Kaduna road, roughly 45 minutes from the capital. Its sheer granite face has made it one of the most photographed natural landmarks in Nigeria, and it appears on the 100-naira note. Most visits are a half-day trip from Abuja: a short walk to the viewing base, photography, and an optional guided walk with a site guide.

Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove

A UNESCO World Heritage forest shrine along the banks of the Osun River, just outside Osogbo. Home to shrines, sculptures and the annual Osun-Osogbo Festival each August, drawing devotees and visitors from across the world.

Lekki Conservation Centre

Africa's longest canopy walkway, 401 metres through coastal forest, home to monkeys, monitor lizards and over 100 bird species. A 78-hectare reserve established in 1990, roughly 40 minutes from Lagos Island.

Aso Rock

Aso Rock is a 400-metre granite outcrop overlooking Abuja's Three Arms Zone, the backdrop to the National Assembly and the Aso Rock Presidential Villa. Most visitors view it from Millennium Park or the surrounding public roads rather than climbing it, since the summit route is unmarked and rarely used by tourists.

Abuja National Mosque

Nigeria's foremost Islamic place of worship, its golden dome visible across central Abuja. Non-Muslim visitors can view the exterior and, outside prayer times, arrange a guided interior visit.

Badagry Heritage Route

Badagry preserves some of West Africa's most significant slave-trade heritage sites, including the Seriki Abass museum, the Point of No Return and the route once walked to the coast. A sober, essential heritage visit roughly 90 minutes from Lagos Island.

Erin-Ijesha Waterfalls

A seven-tiered waterfall, also known as Olumirin, dropping around 100 metres through Oriade's tropical forest, with each tier reachable by a marked path of increasing difficulty. One of the most visited natural sites in Osun State.

Agbokim Waterfalls

Seven cascades dropping up to 75 metres through rainforest near the Cameroon border in Etung local government area, around 25km from Ikom. One of Cross River's most dramatic natural sights, reached by a short forest walk.
