Kenya and South Africa used to be the main tourists' destinations in those days. While they still retain some of their past allures, other African countries have learnt from their tourism success stories to develop and promote their own tourist attractions. One of such countries is Nigeria.

There are a good number of tourist destinations in Nigeria. They include the Obudu Cattle Ranch, located in the South-South geo-political zone, and noted for its peculiar temperate climate and beautiful natural sceneries. Yankari Games Reserve, located in the northern part of the country, is an old tourist site, full of wild animals and served by an assortment of comfortable lodging facilities. We have the National Park, Ikogosi Warm Springs and the Oshun Shrine in the South- West, while the other parts also boast of beautiful and historic tourist locations as well.

What of the virgin city of Abuja? Fantastic! Abuja is the new administrative capital of Nigeria. She is an emerging beauty to behold.

The Nigerian people are friendly and accommodating. The climate is friendly, too, being the typical tropical one. The cost of living there has been particularly very low for a foreign tourist and visitors since the Naira (=N=)devaluation of September 1986. Currently, the Naira exchanges for about US$0.0071428, that is $1 equals =N=140! If one considers the fact that about 70% of Nigerians live on less than $1/day, one can then see why a foreign tourist will stay here almost free!
