This is truly an amazing place to visit should you find yourself in Lagos. I was planning to visit when a friend of mine visited the place. He talked so sweetly about the place and i just thought he was sugar-coating until I visited the gallery on my birthday with my sisters and we were wonderstruck. We visited three different places and the highest note of the day was our time at the gallery. The ambience is as tranquil as possible allowing you to savour the creativity of each distinct artwork. I'm still relishing my amazement of the depth, dexterity and cultural aura of each piece. I know I'm definitely going to visit again and soon.

Reviewed By Emmanuel N - Miami Beach, Florida
Olumo Rock visit experience was really an adventure. Remarkably, improvements have been made for the comfort and safety of tourists. However, the lifts were non functional and practically out of use. Visitors now have to make do to reach the top of the rock by the stairs or by the traditional track. Notably, the facility provides excitement for rock climbers and tourists who love adventure. It’s also a veritable avenue for tourism promotion and good revenue source for the operators.
Opportunity for fun abound here for all!

The natives believe that Badagry was founded by a famous farmer called ‘Agbedeh’ who lived at Gberefu Sea Beach and maintained a farm land across the lagoon in the present Badagry. ‘Greme’ means farm in Ogu language and the people who visited Agbede’s farm, when asked, would say they went to ‘Agbedegreme’ meaning agbede’s farm. The word was later coined to Agbadarigi by the Yoruba settlers and was later corrupted to Badagry by the European slave merchants before the end of the senteenth century.

This museum was powerful to walk through. The tour guides were informative and thorough. It's so hard to see what my ancestors had to live through and try to picture it, but this museum gives you a pretty close look into what slaves had to...MoreThanks for your review Zariyah. We promise to make more research to see that we inform our tourists more adequately from time to time and also see to preserving the authenticity of our history. Thank you.

Zuma rock is a beautiful natural sight to behold. Driving slowly close and past it you appreciate God's hand work and you can have great pictures of it from different places.
My friends have climbed right to the top for picnic and they said it is a wonderful place for family, friends and group relaxation place. I hope to climb up one day. But I have seen it several times even from above while flying in and out of Abuja Nigeria.

The mountain resort is mind blowing, though six hours ride from Calabar, the state capital.
you need a couple of days to fully enjoy this haven.
we spent a day taking a cable car trip and enjoying the water park at the hill bottom.
another day spent on facility tour, grotto and canopy walk. the hiking and trip to Holy mountain was another day journey.
a good guide is imperative.
the entire trip was a great experience and I am looking forward to doing it again soon.
the neighborhood village is great for local dishes, honey and daily supplies.
it could get really cold so plan ahead.
