Nigeria Tours

Nigeria Tours cover Africa's most populous country, a large and diverse nation spanning coastal lagoons, savanna, mountains and one of the continent's largest urban centers in Lagos. Nigeria's history reaches from the Nok culture, one of the earliest known Iron Age civilizations in West Africa, through the influence of the Benin Kingdom to a modern economy built partly on oil production.

As part of a wider Africa itinerary or as a dedicated trip, Nigeria Tours typically focus on a single region given the country's size, most commonly Lagos, Abuja or the southeastern city of Calabar.

Lagos and Abuja

Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital, combines a busy waterfront, art markets and a growing music and film scene, while Abuja, the planned administrative capital since 1991, offers wide boulevards and the distinctive granite dome of Aso Rock on its outskirts.

Calabar and the Cross River Region

Calabar is known for its annual carnival, one of the largest street festivals in Africa, along with access to Cross River National Park, home to rainforest and one of the last populations of Cross River gorillas.

Nature and Landscapes

Beyond its cities, Nigeria's landscape includes the Yankari Game Reserve in the northeast and the Erin Ijesha Waterfalls in the southwest, along with rock formations such as Zuma Rock, a large monolith visible from the road between Abuja and Kaduna.

Nigeria Tour Packages

Nigeria Tour Packages built around Calabar often combine the city's carnival season with cultural performances and street events that draw participants from across West Africa.
