AN AMAZING LAND!!!!

                          NIGERIA!!!!
A home of hospitality and a land with diverse opportunities. Growing up there has been nothing but adventurous and exciting. You haven’t been to Africa if you did not visit Nigeria!!! Am going to enlighten you on a few of our many tourist attractions destinations that makes Nigeria stand out from the crowd.
Firstly is the famous place in Abeokuta called Olumo rock…………….do not get me started on how awesome that place is and to think it is just a huge old rock with its own elevator, restaurant and water fountain…lol. The Olumo rock is part of our nation’s past history because it provided a safe haven for people during the war in the 1990s. If you ever come to Nigeria and you don’t get to visit Olumo rock then I can boldly tell you haven’t been to Nigeria. The Olumo rock is about 137metres high above sea level and consists of three main caves;
·        The first cave consists of slabs and seats and is said to have been used as a conference hall in the past.
·        The second and third caves were mainly used as a sitting room, dining room and kitchen. As a tourist visiting Africa Olumo rock definitely has to be included in your travel plans, it is a MUST-SEE destination.

The trip to Olumo rock involves climbing man made stairs carved into the rock and trust me this is not an easy climb. It tends to leave a person breathless and gasping for air and for this reason an elevator was later built to ease the stress of getting to the top of the rock.


                                       OBUDU CATTLE RANCH!!!


Another must see destination in Nigeria is the Obudu cattle ranch, a beautiful resort situated at the top of a mountain located in Cross river state Nigeria developed in 1991. I can proudly tell you that Obudu is a beautiful place for people looking to spend a weekend, hiking, swimming, golfing and many more. With the beautiful scenery it possesses it’s suitable for both a romantic getaway and a weekend adventure.


ISN’T THIS JUST A VIEW TO DIE FOR…………………….

The ranch also comes with an exquisite cable ride that gives people a spectacular view over the scenery of the ranch. This is known as the Aero plane field over view.






                      
    
 IGAGA WATERFALLS also located at the ranch.





I wish I could go on but what fun will it be if I give away everything Nigeria has to offer. Its better experienced than told, if u ever in Nigeria please stop by at the above places and remember to drop a comment thanking me for giving you heads up and also on making your visit to Nigeria worthwhile.
Will be back with more mouthwatering tourist attractions in Nigeria………………………………TILL THEN!
