All About Your Tour
Immerse yourself in a short but comprehensive journey into the origin and source of some of the most influential cultures in Western Africa. Ifa, Orisa Fon, Egungun, Zangbeto and other ideas. The tour blends cultural experiences, religious experiences nice dishes like Jollof Rice and even a concert by primarily Asake or Equivalent.
Route : The experience in Nigeria climaxes in Oyo and Osun and the one in Benin Republic climaxes in Port Novo egungun festival which we will then return to Lagos for any flight outside of the region at the end of the tour.
Duration & Pace: We will spend 11 days in Nigeria and 10 days in Benin Republic. Our daily activities are about two to three per day and they have been well spaced to ensure enough rest in between the days and daily.
Accommodation & Facilities: We typically go for the best hotel in the city. Cold shower which is basically the necessity will be made available and the AC will never be off. Laundry access will be provided and fully paid for but also travel in a way it’s easy to pack since we will move around a lot specifically in Benin Republic.
Cultural Experience: Egungun shows, Trance, Dancing, Food, Yoruba Attire and even optional fishing in Ganvie. We will visit the National museum in Lagos and Benin
Best Time to Visit: The Best time to visit Nigeria for cultural understanding is in July and August coinciding with Benin Egungun shows due to the nature of organised festivals in the country. If one is to privately organise private shows, things will be more expensive so it’s best to go when things are happening.
Preparation & Packing Tips: Western Africa will be raining at this time so bring a coat. Bring a reusable water bottle and any needed personal medication.
Health & Safety: We do not offer medical insurance although we can recommend one. Stay Hydrated and in case of any health issue, you can be provided with a vehicle to transport you to any medical centre you require.
Environmental Responsibility: A waste bin will be provided to keep all trash.
