Nigeria

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, a multinational giant with more than 250 ethnic tribes speaking more than 500 languages. The capital Lagos, a true megacity, is one of the largest metropolitan areas on earth making it a truly astounding place to visit. The country’s 50/50 mixture of Christianity and Islam makes for a diverse, buzzing culture and Nigeria’s melting pot of culture, history, language and ethnicity makes it one of the most fascinating places to visit anywhere in the world.

Our Nigeria tour will take you to the heart of this African Giant, taking in frenetic city life in the capital, wildlife sanctuaries, cultural festivals and internationally celebrated heritage sites. One day, the floating village of Makoko, where a third of the community is built on stilted housing alongside, on another, a visit to the Sacred Grove of Osun, one of the country’s few UNESCO world heritage sites. Meanwhile, the River Goddess Festival provides a truly special end to the tour, with a chance to observe the ancient tradition of the Ọ̀ṣun Òṣogbo.
