UNESCO World Heritage Site, this forest is located on the outskirts of the city of Oshogbo.

N°3 – Yankari National Park

This park is considered the largest as well as the most popular in the country. Located in Nigeria’s Bauchi State, it is home to baboons, hippos, lions, crocodiles, antelopes, elephants and many other animals.

The place also has a lake and natural pools formed by the hot springs of Wikki, with a constant temperature of 31°C. Go discover this place, it’s beautiful!

N°2 – Lagos

It is the largest city of the African continent. Lagos is teeming with people: 21 million people live in this agglomeration.
We advise you to walk between the two islands of Ikoy and Victoria Island. These are the living and warm residential and business districts. These areas are safest where most expatriates live. To get there, take the Third Mainland Bridge, a huge bridge connecting these two islands.

N°1 – Lekki

Located east of the city of Lagos, Lekki spreads a hallucinating architecture and has sublime beaches that will delight your desire to escape. Very much liked by Nigerians, these beaches are very popular during the summer months. Do not miss a sunset at Lekki ! C’est un mélange parfait entre les couleurs bleu azur de la mer, et l’orangé du crépuscule !
