4 Days from Lagos to Abeokuta

From stunning natural environments to Yoruba shrines and bustling ports, Nigeria is one of those countries that always has something to offer to everyone. On this exciting 4-day tour, you will see both its vibrant and more laid-back versions.  

Lagos is Nigeria's largest city and one of the fastest-growing in the world. With its size and fast-paced metropolitan life, Lagos is often dubbed as the "paradise for hustlers". Beneath the chaos though is the country's melting pot of culture, arts, and music that keeps locals and visitors engaged. On the other hand, Abeokuta is its more relaxed and easy-going counterpart. Situated near a group of rocky outcrops in wooded savanna, this state capital offers more of a countryside vibe to visitors.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Lagos

Upon arrival, you will be picked up from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport and dropped off at your hotel. Overnight at Sheraton Hotel or similar.

Day 2: Lagos

Start the day with breakfast at the hotel and then you'll be picked up by your guide.

On your first full day, you will wander into the best spots in Lagos and discover why visiting this city is a must when in Nigeria. Led by your guide, visit Lekki Conservation Centre where you'll be greeted by monkeys, crocodiles, and birds while on a canopy walk. Next, see interesting artifacts at the National Museum and know more about Nigeria's most important artist, Nike Okundaye, at the enormous Nike Art Gallery. 

The day ends with a drop off at your hotel. Sheraton Hotel or similar.

Day 3: Abeokuta

After breakfast, depart from Lagos and travel north to the town of Abeokuta. Stop at Olumo Rock, the founding site of the city which once served as a natural fortress during inter-tribal warfare in the 19th century. On the way up, you'll see shrines, sacred trees, and tribal war-time hideouts before reaching the top for a rewarding view of the city.

Between photo stops, you'll also explore Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library. More of a museum than a library, this place also offers an artifacts room, a cinema, and the main hall that gives insights to Olusegun Obasanjo's life from childhood to his rise in the army and presidential career.

You will then return to Lagos at the end of the day. Overnight at Sheraton Hotel or similar.

Day 4: Lagos

On your last day in Lagos, it's only fitting that we take you to the locals' and visitors' favorite spots when they want to chill and have fun at the same time. In the morning, your driver-guide will either take you to Inagbe Resort, a waterfront resort with bars and restaurant and beach access OR Tarkwa Bay, an artificial island near Nigeria harbor.

Then, visit Fela Kuti's former-house-turned-museum Kalakuta Republic. Hang around on the rooftop terrace of the legendary musician's place, you might even chance upon a band rehearsal and performance. Just a stone's throw away is the New Afrika Shrine, an open-air entertainment center that will let you experience the authentic Nigerian and African music scene.

After this, you will be dropped-off at your hotel or transferred to the airport.
