Best places to visit in Nigeria
- Calabar: This city is often referred to as the gateway to the reserves at the Cross River. This vibrant area is one where you will find species such as chimps, gorillas and rockfowl, all in a setting of craggy peaks made of stone. This town is the home of the Duke Town Chapel, which many consider to be one of the oldest Christian houses of worship in Nigeria.
- *Lagos: *This city is not only the largest in Nigeria, but also the largest city on the entire African continent. With a population of roughly 18,000,000 people, this is a vibrant city that offers plenty of clubs and beer bars in District Ikeja and Victoria Island. The city's coast offers plenty of beautiful beaches where you can spend days lounging on the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean.
- Abeokuta: This is a historic location because it was an essential stopover on the trade routes between the coastal areas and the heart of West Africa. Visitors here will find an amazing cultural museum, plenty of craft shops selling locally inspired artworks, plus a vast artifact network that showcases the ancient history of this part of the world.
Winter in Nigeria
One of the best things about visiting Nigeria in the winter is that it’s considered the country’s dry season. This makes a great time to visit Nigeria and participate in some of the festivals held during this time of the year. The first major Muslim festival of the year in Nigeria, Eid al Maulud, occurs in February. If you're looking for a great party, the month of December offers Calabar Carnival, which features music, dancing, and an array of other events.
