Nigeria Holidays 2025 & 2026

Nigeria is a bewitching country located on the western coast of Africa. Home to over 200 million people, it’s the most populous county in Africa and offers a variety of experiences for every type of traveller. From the humming metropolis of Lagos to the ancient spiritual traditions of Ile Ile, Nigeria will inspire you with its history, culture, and natural wonders. Did you know that Lagos is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, with a population of over 15 million? This spirited city is just one of the many highlights Nigeria has to offer. If you’re searching for a family-friendly excursion, look no further than a visit to the Lekki Conservation Centre, where kids and adults can explore Africa’s longest canopy walkway. Spot native wildlife amongst the dense, invigorating forest as you take in some bucket list views. If history is your forte, a visit to Badagry is a must. This coastal town offers a sobering yet insightful journey into Nigeria’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, with antiquated monuments and museums that tell the story of this significant era. Ile Ile, considered the cradle of Yoruba civilisation, offers a deep dive into the heart of Nigerian life, where the roots of Yoruba culture are said to have begun. If you choose your timing wisely, partake in local celebrations like the Osun-Osogbo Festival, a commemoration in honour of the goddess Osun, showcasing Nigeria’s magical communal festivities. For food lovers, no trip to Nigeria would be complete without indulging in its incredible, fragrant cuisine. Nigerian food is as bold and flavourful as its culture. Taste Jollof rice, the country’s signature dish, as well as local favourites like egusi soup, pounded yam, suya (spicy grilled meat), and puff-puff (a sweet fried dough).
