Essentials in Nigeria

Yankari National Park: This is the largest wildlife park in Nigeria and the ideal place to go on a safari in the West African savanna. Over 50 species call this park home including the African Bush Elephant, Olive Baboon, African buffalo and the hippopotamus. Best to visit if you have a Nigeria car hire so you can get around easier.

Abuja: The capital of Nigeria, Abuja was built from scratch in some of the country's most beautiful terrain as is one of the best examples of a purpose-built city in the world. It's a fine mix of modern Nigerian architecture and is an incredibly beautiful city.

Osogbo: For history and heritage, head to Osogbo. Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove is a very special forest on the banks of the Osun River just outside of the city limits. It is one of the few remaining sacred forests still adjoining a Yoruba city. This area is also an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
