Itinerary
Day 1Sat Feb 20
Lagos
  • Today we will start by exploring the amazing chaos that is Lagos! We will start with a visit to Makoko, the huge floating village in the centre of the Lagos. In 2026, the government decided to try and get rid of Makoko by burning part of it down. Despite this people continue to live here. This stop is intense but helps you understand the city.
  • We will then head over to the Yoruba Centre to learn about the Yoruba people who make up one of the main ethnic groups in Nigeria, alongside Igbo and Hausa peoples.
  • We will of course stop along the way for some typical Nigerian fare. Nigeria has some amazing food and is especially great for spice lovers!
  • We will then make our way to Ikeji to visit the Kalakita Museum which houses rare instruments and showcases the work of Fela, a famous political activitist and musician. Fela Shrine in this area still does weekly performances and should definitely be on anyone’s go to list if there is a show!
  • In the afternoon we will make a stop by the Nikke Art Gallery which has several floors of amazing modern art all done by locals.
  • We then return back to the hotel before heading out for dinner.
  • Overnight in Lagos.

This particular site is over 400 years old and hosts more than 40 shrines and is still an active place of worship.
