In this post, we highlighted some of the major tourist centres in Nigeria with a brief history about them.  

Table of Contents

What is a Tourist Attraction? 

A tourist attraction, according to the Cambridge dictionary, is a place that people visit for pleasure and interest, usually while they are on holiday.

In other words, it’s a place that provides recreation, entertainment, or amusement to the public. Most of its visitors do not live close to the attraction, so they have to travel to enjoy the facilities it offers. 

It is the features of the tourist attraction that draw in people and contribute to the overall experience of the place.

Top 7 Most Visited Tourist Attractions in Nigeria with A Brief History About Them 

Obudu mountain resort.

Obudu Mountain Resort, formerly known as Obudu Cattle Ranch, is one of the beautiful and pleasant tourist centres in Nigeria. If you haven’t visited the place, you’re seriously ‘missing’. 

Obudu Mountain Resort is located on the Obudu Plateau, close to the Cameroon border in the northeastern part of Cross River state. It was discovered by Mr McCaughley, a Scottish Rancher, who first explored the mountain in 1949 and settled there for a month. He then reached out to Mr Hugh Jones, a fellow rancher in 1951, with whom he developed the place.

This resort has a cool temperature, a beautiful view from the top of the mountain, an amazing waterfall, and a breathtaking canopy walk feature. You’ll have a compelling experience from the exciting snake road, through the rocking hills to the lush, plush, and exquisite greenery. If you’re easily confused with directions, don’t take this route alone; things could get really spooky really fast for you.

Yankari National Park

Discussing the best and most visited tourist centres in Nigeria without including Yankari National Park will be a great sin.  

Yankari National Park, also known as Yankari Game Reserve, is a large wildlife park located in the south-central part of Bauchi state, in Northeastern Nigeria. In 1956, this park was established as a game reserve, and later designated Nigeria’s biggest national park in 1991. Yankari National Park is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Nigeria. This makes it vital in the development and promotion of tourism and ecotourism in Nigeria.

You’ll see different kinds of mammalian species like Olive Baboon, African Bush Elephant, Tantalus Monkey, African Buffalo, Patas Monkey, hippopotamus, and Elephants. Your tour to Yankari National Park is incomplete if you don’t visit the Wakki Warm Spring to feel the warmth that nature has blessed us with.

All roads lead to Olumo Rock, one of the top tourist centres in Nigeria. It’s gently sitting at the heart of the city of Abeokuta. During the intertribal wars in the 19th century, Olumo Rock, AKA the Fortress of Abeokuta, was a refuge for the Egba people. 

Shortly after the Owu War of 1820 – 1825, the Egba people faced external opposition from Ife, Ibadan and Ijebu. It was Sodeke, a young brave man, who led the Egba people to Olumo Rock. The rock also allowed them to monitor their enemies’ moves, and that led to their victory in the war. 

Standing on the mountain, you’ll be awestruck to see unusual trees, natural tunnels and cantilevers, beautiful gardens, and sculptures of ancient religious symbols. You’ll also see the outskirts of the city and the popular Ogun river which runs into the Atlantic ocean. Beside the rock is the popular Itoku market, where people make and sell tie-and-dye clothes.

The Olumo Rock also has a museum that holds several slave sculptures that the European colonial officers captured and held.

Getting to Olumo rock is quite easy from places as close as Lagos and Abeokuta environs. It’s about an hour’s drive from Lagos. There is unlimited access to hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, casinos, for your comfort and entertainment.

Osun-Oshogbo Sacred Grove

One of the tourist centres in Nigeria with the most indigenous and historical background. This is located in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State. It’s classified as one of the UNESCO world heritage sites. It is home to Osun, the goddess of fertility; and spans about 75 hectares of land. 

Every year, the Osun-Oshogbo festival celebrates the fertility goddess in August at the Grove. A warrior called Olutimilehin started the festival after an alleged incident as he camped at the Sacred Grove. A goddess appeared to him and assured him that she would always support him to win any battle. The condition was that he celebrates her every year. Ever since, Osun priests have never broken the covenant, as they celebrate the goddess every year in August. 

The Osun-Oshogbo festival is of tremendous benefit to the tourism sector. As one of the internationally-recognized tourist centres in Nigeria, it plays an important role in the promotion and development of tourism in Nigeria. It also allows the community to sell its culture to tourists coming from within the country and outside.

Ikogosi Warm Spring

Have you seen the mysterious confluence of the two springs at Ikogosi, a town in Ekiti State? The Ikogosi Warm Spring is one of the top tourist centres in Nigeria. It is where two springs–one warm and the other cold– form a confluence while maintaining their thermal properties. This peculiar attribute makes the spring one of the most visited places in Nigeria. 

According to a small study, the warm spring has a temperature of about 70oC at the source and 30oC at the confluence.

The Ikogosi Warm Spring has a big resort built around it to provide tourists with comfort, relaxation, and accommodation services. It also has a conference center where you can hold formal meetings if you’re on a business trip. 

Two myths surround the origin and discovery of the Spring. The first myth revolves around two wives who were married to a hunter. Due to the frequent disagreement that they engaged in, they fought one day and turned to the two springs. Legend says that the temperamental wife is the warm spring, and the quiet wife represents the cold one. 

The second myth revolves around a great hunter who discovered the Spring. He went back to his village to inform his people about it, and they started worshipping it. Whichever is true, you should still add this to your bucket list.

Agodi Botanical Gardens

Created in 1967, Agodi Botanical Gardens is a tourist centre in Nigeria with former names, Agodi Zoological and Botanical Gardens. It spans about 150 acres of land and resides in Ibadan, the third-largest city in Africa.

Agodi Gardens is a perfect spot for personal or pre-wedding photoshoots because of the very serene and lush atmosphere. The relaxed ambience is also perfect for picnics, outdoor events, concerts, and even weddings. It’s a place where you can have a special kind of fun. Fun in silence, away from activities and every form of oppression and pressure. 

It houses a water park, mini zoo, Play area, and rides for children. The water park is one of Agodi Gardens’ most outstanding features. It has two water slides and three pools which cater to both adults and children. The Mini zoo is home to different kinds of animals like monkeys, lions, crocodiles, and tortoises. The last time I visited the lion’s den in this tourist centre in Nigeria, the lioness was salivating like it was ready to pounce on everybody. Don’t worry, the den is tightly secured. 

Next time you travel to Ibadan, pay a visit to Agodi Gardens. It’s only a 10-minute drive from the University College Hospital (UCH). 

Tarkwa Bay Beach

This is one of the tourist attractions in Nigeria where you can be free from the busy life of Lagos. Tarkwa Bay is an artificial beach located near the Lagos harbour in Nigeria. Unlike most beaches in Lagos that are noisy and overcrowded, Tarkwa Bay Beach is serene and accommodates a decent population. The relaxed ambience is just what you’d expect from a tourist centre in Nigeria. It is perfect for birthdays, picnics, and other outdoor events. 

What makes this tourist centre in Nigeria more interesting is the swimming and surfing in the sea; so you can also jet-ski or water-ski. 

To get to Tarkwa Bay Beach, there are several parts of Lagos Island where you can board a ferry or high-speed boat. You can get a boat to Tarkwa Bay at popular places like Marina, Mekwe Jetty, and Tarzan Marine. 

Conclusion

Confluence of Rivers Niger and Benue

Last, but not least is this wonderful place. You can find it in Lokoja, Kogi State. Two Nigerian rivers come together in this exact spot, form a Y-shape and continue their path to the ocean as one. It is worth seeing as the coffee-coloured waters of Niger River merge with the emerald waters of Benue River.

Benin City is the largest city and capital of the Edo state in Nigeria. Now an industrial capital, the city was once home to the Kingdom of Benin which flourished between the 13th and the 19th century. One of the oldest cities in Nigeria, Benin boasts of a primitive, rural beauty that is unfound anywhere else. With its colorful festivals and world famous art, the vibrant beauty of Benin City must be witnessed firsthand. One of the best ways to explore this marvelous beauty of Benin is to visit the Royal Palace of Oba Benin Here.

There are alternate periods of wet and dry, with the monsoon period restricted to the mid-year months. 

Priding in its status as the largest city in all of Africa, Lagos offers a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Lagos sprawls inward from the Gulf and Guinea and stretches onwards across the Lagos Lagoon. The city had initially emerged as a home for the erstwhile Yoruba tribes of West Africa, and was later developed into a port city settled across multiple islands. With its youthful, cherry vibe, the city of Lagos is celebrated both for its high-end culture and fantastic coastlines. Dramatic sandstone cliffs jutting into fantastically turquoise waters borders the city on one end, while the metropolitan malls and high-rise buildings scatter the skyline on the other. One of the best ways to explore the beauty of Lagos is to tour the fantastic beaches here. The city is home to two of Africa’s most beautiful beaches- the Praia do Camilo and the Meia Praia, known for their ravishing white sands and clear waters. Another prominent marine attraction here is the Ponta de Piedade, a series of limestone caves and grottos located just off Lagos Bay.

Port Harcourt

Also known as ‘Pitakwa’, Port Harcourt is the largest and capital city in the Rivers State of Nigeria. Nestled within the Niger Delta, the city sprawls along the gushing Bonny River. The city was initially made up of several fishing villages, which were later developed into a port. Balancing modern city life on one side and the coast on the other, the city offers the perfect blend of modernity and nature. The cool waters along its white sand beaches makes the city an ideal getaway for beach lovers, while its malls and shopping plazas are perfect for those desiring to escape into a busy cityscape.

The city is flanked by the enormous Aso Rock on one side, which dominates Abuja’s skyline. Full to the brim with open parks and natural outcrops, the beauty of Abuja must be witnessed to be believed.

If you’re not keen on adventure, however, you could always spend your time at the several open markets here, shopping for souvenirs and handicrafts. The city is also known for its street food culture, which is an absolute- must-try here. Despite being one of the cooler regions in Nigeria, Abuja experiences hot weather throughout the year. Humidity and precipitation remains high across all months. Rainfall is concentrated between May and October, while the rest of the year remains dry.

8 of the best places to visit in Nigeria

Apr 27, 2023 • 9 min read

Get to know Nigeria with this guide to the country's best places to visit © i_am_zews / Shutterstock

After a day or two, most visitors to Nigeria wish they had planned to stay longer in the country.

Once they start seeing the sights, and meeting the people, they realize that there is way more to do than they had believed possible. Don’t make the same mistake – give yourself a long leash. For administrative ease, the country’s 36 states are grouped into six geopolitical zones. If you intend to stay in more than one state, plan your travels along the same lines; pick an anchor city, and take things one state or zone at a time.

In the South-South, for example, the scenic and slow-paced city of Uyo can be your base to explore the Niger Delta states. In the North East, Bauchi is a perfect base to explore the rocky landscapes of Plateau, Adamawa, Borno and Taraba states.

Narrow down your list with these top places to visit in Nigeria.

Best city for an intro to Nigeria

Whether you’re traveling solo or as a group, Abuja  is your best introduction to Nigeria. By design, it is a city for holidaymaking: hills, public gardens and leisure parks dot the cityscape, right through its residential districts, so you’re guaranteed ample green spaces. Millenium Park’s landscaped grounds attract hundreds of picnickers; rent a mat inside the park and just chill. Aso Rock, where Nigeria’s presidential palace gets its name, looms nicely in the background.

Abuja’s wide walkways and boulevards make walking a pleasure any time of the day. If you’re traveling with kids, Central Park , Magicland Amusement Park , Jabi Lake Park and Arttech District are go-to family spots. Together, they offer dining, outdoor activities and games – from horseback riding and roller-skating to bicycle trails and go-karts.

Abuja is also a city for hiking, and there’s a trek up any of the city’s hills every weekend. Organized by hiking groups and clubs like Naija Adventurers , Tha Outdoor Tribe and Mantrek Hikers Club , there is little or no formality to join. Periodically, the hiking extends to landmarks in neighboring Niger, Nasarawa and Kaduna states.

Planning tip:  Factor in a visit to Abuja's newly opened Nike Art Gallery  as you travel to or from the airport.

2. Calabar 

Best city for heritage and celebrations

Tourists come to Calabar to connect a number of nature and heritage sites: the Slave History Museum , Cross River National Park , Obudu Mountain Resort and the Afi Mountain Drill Sanctuary . 

The Bakor (or Ikom) monoliths, a group of 300+ stones that are 1–1.5m-tall (3–5ft), are also one of the region’s main attractions. These centuries-old stones are believed by clans in the host communities to be their forebears. Some of the stones are within easy reach of Calabar, others are in more remote forested areas, with a permanent exhibition in an open-air museum at Alok, 156km (97 miles) north of Calabar.

Another reason to visit Calabar is for its thrilling events, culminating with the Christmas festival, a December-long fiesta of concerts and street parties. Another crowd-puller here is the carnival, a pan-Nigeria cultural parade with participation from at least half a dozen countries. Leboku New Yam Festival, one of the best known in Nigeria, held in August or September, also draws people in. On the eve, host communities perform ritual ceremonies to their "stone ancestors", re-painting them in colored chalk and in readiness for the festival proper.

Best place to hang out on the beach

Lagos is a delight on many levels. The city’s coastline is already a busy corridor for resorts and beach houses. On weekends, Lagosians pour into a long stretch of private beaches  to party and enjoy a suite of water-based sports. For the best beach experiences, take a short boat ride to Tarkwa Bay or hop in a car to Landmark Beach .

As the birthplace of Nollywood (Nigeria’s movie industry) and the now-global Afrobeats movement, the city has been at the heart of Nigeria’s entertainment boom for decades. In the last half of the year, Lagos' creative side is in full swing as it hosts a long list of festivals, like the Lagos International Poetry Festival , Lagos Fringe Festival and Art X Lagos .

Its bustling metropolis aside, the “city of aquatic splendor” combines urban appeal with well-kept traditions. Downtown Lagos, home to the Eyo masquerade, is a network of Igas (palaces), shrines and markets. On its most westerly end, Badagry, once a town of enslaved people, is a place where tourists and pilgrims alike come to visit historical landmarks: Badagry Heritage Museum , Mobee Slave Relics Museum, Vlekete Slave Market Museum and Brazilian Baracoon, among others.

Planning tip: Lagos is at its partying best in December when it hosts multiple concerts, musicals and entertainment shows. The city is also less crowded during the period, meaning you can get where you want to be much faster.

4. Mambilla Plateau

Best for adventure travelers

A trip to the Mambilla Plateau is the ultimate Nigerian adventure. On this multi-day journey you’ll travel through vast savannah lands and long winding roads, driving up and down multiple hilly terrains, past dairy farms, streams, and rivers. At the Mayoselbe–Tunga stretch of the highway, you’ll come within a few feet of a tribe of monkeys.

Multiple waterfalls await you at Maisamari, Lemetela and Mbanga towns. But the goal of every visitor to Mambilla is to hike up Chappal Waddi (7936ft), the highest point in Nigeria. At Gembu, a major transit town near Cameroon, explore the Donga River on local paddle boats or visit any of the tea farms, the Highland Tea being the most prominent, where you'll see harvesters fling the leaves over their shoulders into elongated, hand-made baskets strapped to their backs. Make time to explore Gashaka-Gumti National Park , the largest of Nigeria’s 17 national parks, all managed by the Nigeria Parks Service .

Planning tip: You can reach Gembu by road from Abuja, Jalingo and Yola. Visits here involve long overland travels by bus and motorbike, so it's best to allow a week at least. Nature Connects , based on the Plateau, provides guiding and advisory services. Mambilla is suitable for hiking year-round, but best between December and March, when the grounds are less slippery. This is also the best time for wildlife spotting. The plateau is at its greenest between April and September; to visit some of its waterfalls, head there between September and December.

Best city for culture and history

Ilorin, in Nigeria’s North-Central region, is usually not on the itinerary of tourists but deserves to be. The emir’s palace is at the heart of Ilorin’s cultural and spiritual life. Palace officials will show you around, the tour typically starting from the four pillars memorializing the emirate’s past wartime exploits. The multiple buildings within and adjoining the palace (Ilorin Central Mosque, for one), are markers of various periods as Ilorin transitioned in the early 19th century from an outpost of the Old Oyo Empire to a stronghold of the Sokoto Caliphate.

Its historical appeal aside, Ilorin has preserved many of its old cottage industries, including aso oke (handwoven fabric), mat- and basket-weaving. Visit the unmissable Dada pottery, to learn about the skills passed down among womenfolk for generations.

Planning tip: Ilorin, like other northern Nigerian cities, sparkles at Eid-al-Adha when the city hosts the annual durbar festival, a colorful equestrian parade in northern Nigeria. In August, there’s a traditional mass wedding ceremony, which takes place in Shao town (14km/9 miles away).  

6. Northern Nigeria

Best region for architecture

Northern Nigeria is an outdoor gallery of eye-catching indigenous architecture – designed, built and decorated by master masons from the 19th century. From Sokoto and Kano (North-West) to Gombe and Maiduguri (North-East), your gaze is constantly met by brightly painted mosques. 

The palaces and some public buildings are more elaborately decorated, with Hausa motifs and, in some cases, complemented by Arabic inscriptions. Palaces of the Emirs of Dutse, Bauchi, Gombe and Zaria, and the Shehu of Borno are star examples. Inside the Gidan Makama Museum (Kano) and Kanta Museum (Kebbi), formerly palaces, you’ll learn more about the history and culture of Hausaland.  

There’s more Nigerian vernacular architecture in Jos, at the open-air Museum of Traditional Nigerian Architecture (MOTNA), which shares space with the Jos National Museum . Here, you’ll find lifesize replicas of huts and homesteads unique to different ethnic groups in the country. Among them: Tiv, Idoma and Afizere compounds. The Bight of Benin, modeled after the palace of the Oba of Benin, doubles as a restaurant. 

Best place for ancient traditions and high-up views

Idanre is the site of an old hilltop settlement in Nigeria’s Western region. Tucked among the hills is the old palace that was home to 25 successive kings. The path to the palace, its low roofing propped up by carved wooden posts, is dotted by relics of a past civilisation, including potsherd pavements, a native court, a prison and a shrine. 

The hills are Idanre’s main attraction. And looking out from 915m (3000ft) into the distance to the sprawling settlements at the foot of the hills, first occupied in the 1930s, is one of the most heartwarming views in this corner of the world. 

Planning tip: Idanre hosts a number of festivals throughout the year. In February, young men march off to two caves on the hills for the annual bat-hunting festival. Orosun festival, in honor of the goddess of fertility, is held in May. The town celebrates Ogun (god of Iron) in October; the Ide festival, perhaps the grandest of all, is in December. That’s when the paramount ruler, the Owa, leads a procession up the hills to wear a crown seen only once in a year.

8. Enugu and the South-East

Best region for national history and nature walks

Enugu is the heartland of Nigeria’s South-East region, a status it earned in the early 1900s when huge reserves of coal were discovered in its hills. Today, more than a century later, its tranquil neighborhoods, pine forests and public parks makes it one of Nigeria’s touristy cities. 

Begin your tour at the National Museum of Unity to understand the Igbo belief system. Part of the exhibition includes the Ijele masquerade, an important component of ceremonial gatherings in Igboland. Dig deeper into Igbo worldview at the Center for Memories . For more on Nigeria’s pre- and post-colonial history, head to the Nnamdi Azikiwe Centre, a museum and library that opened in December 2022, housed in what was the Premier’s Lodge of the old Eastern Region in the 1950s.

After touring the museums, travel up the Milken Hills to the pine forest of the suburban Ngwo town and onwards to the caves and waterfalls further down the trail. Alternately, from Enugu drive to Awhum town, famed also for its caves and waterfalls – and a monastery . The Ezeagu Tourist complex is within the vicinity; here, you can take a dip in the gentle rush of the stream.

Planning tip: If you are keen for more cave-themed adventures, then cross the inter-state border into Anambra State. The Ogbunike Caves , 77km (48 miles) southwest of Enugu, are a maze of tunnels and streams with lots of bats. Less well known, but no less spectacular, are the caves-waterfalls-rock complex at Ogba-Ukwu, 60km (38 miles) from the port city of Onitsha.

15 Best Places to Visit in Nigeria

There’s no question about it: Nigeria is huge. And just as the naysayers say size doesn’t matter, you realise that in West Africa, where just a couple of miles adds another fascinating tribal group, or that journey over the Obudu Plateau makes the difference between Guinean savannah grasses and verdant tropical rainforest, it really, really does! The point is that Nigeria is a country of many colors and creeds.

Its character morphs and shapeshifts almost as elegantly as a white-throated monkey swings between the boughs of the jungle. City wise, it’s got the colossal sprawl of Abuja – one of the fastest growing urban areas in the world. And then there’s Lagos – 17.5 million strong, but still finding time to chill on the Atlantic beaches.

Moving away from the towns and to the country, and Nigeria’s many faces continue. This time they peer like humans in the form of chimpanzees from the forest-clad gorges of the Gashaka Gumti. Or, they are plumed in pink like the black cranes of the Bade-Nguru Wetlands. It’s all very wonderful stuff.

Lets explore the best places to visit in Nigeria :

The gateway to the reserves of the Cross River (the state of which Calabar is the capital), and the further-flung rainforests of the Afi Mountains (home to gorillas, chimps, rare rockfowl and craggy peaks of stone), the town of Calabar is a well-honed tourist stop-off on the way through to Cameroon or the southern Nigerian coast.

Before making a beeline for the amazing primate sanctuaries outside of the town though, be sure to linger a little and case out the darker past of the city at the Calabar Museum – Calabar was once one of the principle slave trading ports in West Africa.

Also worth a look is the Duke Town chapel, which is considered one of the oldest Christian worshipping houses in Nigeria.

Frenetic and packed, Lagos is not only the largest city in Nigeria, but also the single largest on the entire African continent.

Yep, nearly 18 million people call this one home, and boy does it show! Throbbing streets of beer bars and clubs pepper the districts of Ikeja and Victoria Island, where ex-pats and sailors and locals alike chat over frothy brews.

There are also salt-washed promenades on the coast, and the beautiful reaches of Lagos Bar Beach – a sloping stretch of golden sand that meets the waves of the Atlantic Ocean in style.

Meanwhile, jet skis purr across Tarkwa Bay, and the sobering histories of the slave trade continue to move at the Point of No Return.

3. Abeokuta

Nestled inland, directly north of sprawling Lagos, the regional capital of the Ogun State can be found surrounded by great swathes of yam fields and maize farms, swaying wooded savanna and palm oil plantations.

An historic location on the important trade routes between the coast and the heart of West Africa led to previous inhabitants raising adobe fortifications around the old town, many of which can still be seen today.

However, it’s the bulbous rises of the Olumo Rock that soars atop the town that really draws the eye.

This ancient natural fort plays host to a great cultural museum, a craft shop selling local artworks, and caves that showcase the human history of the Ogun region as a whole.

4. Yankari National Park

Whether you make the arduous journey east from Abuja and south from Gombe to the Yankari in search of the roaming herds of African elephants (rumored to be the most numerous on the continent) or to seek out the fascinating relics of earlier peoples in the caves, you can rest assured that this well-serviced national park won’t disappoint.

More than 20,000 people come here to partake in ecotourism every year, which means there are plenty of lodges and tour operators on the ground.

Don’t leave without scaling the lookouts on Kalban Hill, or wondering at the chiseled rocks of the awesome Tonlong Gorge.

Okay, so Abuja ain’t no Lagos. Purpose-built, enfolded by the soft topography of the inland hills, and formed from clearly delineated districts that house business-suited men and politicians, there’s no grit or grime here (or at least not relatively). That means the capital is a nice place to relax and unwind following the energy and action of the megalopolis on the coast.

And there are other interesting sights too, like the Abuja Millennium Park and the quad of spear-like minarets that heralds the beautiful Abuja National Mosque.

Meanwhile, Wuse Market is great for shoppers, and the National Assembly Complex offers a glimpse into the country’s modern political system.

State capital and erstwhile stronghold of the old Oyo Empire, Ibadan hides quite a lot of history and heritage between its streets.

The only problem is, those streets seem to go on forever and ever (some estimations say that Ibadan is the single largest metropolis by geographical coverage in Africa), making the interesting parts pretty hard to find! A good place to start is in the exhibition rooms of the National Museum of Ibadan, where traditional Egungun garments meet tribal war drums and more.

Then, try to discover the Bower Memorial Tower, before hitting the colonial facades of Mapo Hall.

7. Kainji Lake National Park

One of the natural jewels of north-western Nigeria is actually not all that natural at all.

Yep, the eponymous Kainji Lake of the Kainji Lake National Park is actually a reservoir, created in 1968 and now surrounded by protected game reserves.

On the western banks of the water is the Borgu area, which hosts sporadic pockets of Guinean woods and plains, the stomping ground of some truly fascinating beasts: hippopotami; roan antelopes and swinging baboons.

This eventually gives way to the reservoir itself, where primeval jungles dip down into the croc-spotted waters.

8. Gashaka Gumti National Park

Vast and breathtaking at every turn, the Gashaka Gumti National Park covers more than 6,000 square kilometers of land in the extreme south-east of the country.

Made in 1991 after the fusion of two great Nigerian game reserves, it’s famed for its winding rivers (some of which also occasionally turn into awesome shows of roaring waterfalls) and riparian habitats, which host rare avian species like the red-faced lovebird.

On the ground, you can expect to be in the company of African golden cats and elephants.

Chimps swing in the trees of the forests too, while buffalos pepper the watering holes.

A green and leafy town that’s nestled almost equidistance between the Cross River National Park (the home of Nigeria’s gorillas) and the delta of the River Niger (where the Bayelsa National Forest has baby chimps), Enugu certainly doesn’t want for natural attractions.

In fact, that prime location close to some of the best natural draws of the Nigerian south-east is one of the main reasons tourists come here.

Others will enjoy the tidy streets and the low-rise buildings, the down-to-earth locals (the lifeblood of the small bottling and movie industries that have germinated here), and the gushing waterfalls and caves of the Ezeagu Tourist Complex – just on the edge of the city.

10. Port Harcourt

Okay, so it’s hardly a secret that industry comes first in the rambunctious oil boomtown of Port Harcourt.

A soaring population, endless developments of cookie-cutter tenements and the logos of major oil companies are just a few of the things this throbbing petroleum town wears on its sleeve.

And while the frenetic buzz of depots, trucks and tankers here certainly isn’t for everyone, the down-to-earth character of the place, mixed with a particularly raucous nightlife scene means that some will love the earthy, raw and unpretentious nature of it all.

11. Erin-Ijesha

The tiny town of Erin-Ijesha is really only known for one thing and one thing only: it’s eponymous waterfall that crashes through the southern Nigerian jungles, spans two individual states, and counts as many as seven tiers in total! The beautiful water feature draws oodles of people to this tiny speck on the map a little way from the historic city of Ilesa.

The journey’s worth it though.

You’ll get to climb through the verdant woods and bathe in the cataracts as they crash over the cliffs.

You’ll learn about the forest spirits, and even discover the nearby hot springs at Ikogosi – a little to the east, and a great place for soothing those tired hiking muscles.

Another great gateway to the trans-border Cross River National Park, and a brilliant stopover on the way to Calabar city, the town of Uyo is a clean and efficient urban center with a pretty lively nightlife scene of music bars and beer haunts.

It’s surrounded by green swathes of mangrove forest, out of which pokes the city’s famous golf resort (run by the prestigious name of Le Méridien no less). In the town there’s also the endless boutiques and fashion stores of the Ibom Plaza, where Nigerian celebs often strut their stuff.

And if the city gets too much, make a beeline for the coast.

Ibeno Beach is the top choice, with its footprint-spotted sands coming in as some of the longest in all of West Africa.

13. Okomu National Park

One of the few remaining enclaves of the virgin rainforest that once dominated the territories of southern Nigeria for its entirety, the Okomu National Park can be found sandwiched between the endless mangroves that crash into the Atlantic Ocean and the streets of Benin City.

Untouched and undeveloped, the spot’s remoteness has allowed it to become a refuge for some of the country’s rarer creatures, like the pangolin, chimpanzees, leopards and even forest elephants.

There’s also a smattering of rustic tribal villages still here, where visitors can encounter the age-old way of Nigerian country life.

14. Benin City

Located just a little to the east of the aforementioned reserves of the Okomu National Park, Benin City is not only a great place to launch your explorations through the wilds of southern Nigeria, but also an interesting, lived-in industrial town with plenty of history of its own.

In fact, the town was once the middle of the Benin Empire, back when it was called Edo, and thrived with the creation of architectural feats like the old Oba Palace – still visible in the center.

There are also fascinating open-air bronze workshops along bustling Igun Street to see, along with a branch of the National Museum.

15. Edumanom National Forest

The great mass of greenery that caps the very end of the Niger River, this delta forest plays host to one of Nigeria’s most amazing displays of biodiversity.

It’s headed by the presence of some of the largest remaining chimpanzee colonies in the world, who patrol the freshwater swamps and the verdant canopies, casting howls through the wilderness as they go.

It’s also a home to the rare Niger Delta colobus and other primates worth seeing.

Thanks to its far-flung location, travel here won’t be easy, but the untrodden undergrowth and untamed wilds might just be worth it!
