I bought a direct air ticket to Nigeria from Air France and visited many attractions during my stay. I visited many national parks and reserves in Nigeria including the Yankari National Park, Gashaka-Gumti National Park, Cross River National Park, Oluma Rock, Kainji National Park, Old Oyo National Park, and the Nigeria Millenium Park. These parks vary in type and are either natural, wildlife or public parks located in Nigeria. I also visited other sights including Abuja National Mosque and Benin City National Museum. Overall it was a great trip which I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend to anyone else looking for an adventurous vacation.
