Lately i have been working on promoting the African culture via my posts and i started with Nigeria (My country)
If you are planning a vacation to Nigeria let me suggest you visit The Obudu mountain Resort.
The most populated country in
Africa, Nigeria has become an
untapped tourist paradise with long
stretches of exotic beaches, lush
mountains, well preserved tradition
and culture and enchanting tourist
attractions.
From the spiritual shines to the
ancient cities of the north, from the
river deltas to the Yoruba kingdoms,
the Ibo’s stunning environments and
among many simply pure sceneries;
Nigeria leaves every visitor breathing
hard with suspense and excitement.
Obudu Mountain Resort, formerly known as Obudu Cattle Ranch, is one of the most beautiful and pleasant tourist centers in Nigeria. It is located on the Obudu Plateau, close to the Cameroon border, in the
Northeastern part of Cross Rivers State.
This resort center has grown to become a major destination choice for tourists. It has an attractive landscape and calming ambience, with clouds smiling down on its peaks and valleys. It offers visitors a good blend of warm and cold temperature, as it has a very
temperate weather. The rooms in Obudu Mountain Resort are
made up of chalets, standard room, executive room, huts to presidential suites. Although this resort is open to visitors throughout the year,
the period between October and February is
the best time to visit, as it is the time when
the sky is very bright and the air is frosty.
History of Obudu
Mountain Resort
The history of this resort located in Obudu
Plateau can be traced back to when Mr Caughley, a Scottish Rancher, first explored the mountain ranges in 1949, as he camped
on the mountaintop for a month before
returning with Mr Hugh Jones, a fellow
rancher, in 1951. Thus, it was developed in 1951 by two ranchers; Mr Hugh Jones and Dr Crawfield.
What is the Best Time To Visit Obudu
Mountain Resort?
Fun knows no end at Obudu Mountain Resort,
albeit the best time to visit Obudu Mountain
Resort is the festive period, December, as you
are sure to get fun at its peak during this
period. The weather during this period is also
favourable, as the festive period falls within
the dry season in Cross Rivers, where Obudu
Mountain Resort is located.
Very cool @jesefpius. My husband and I actually talk about traveling to South Africa, but to see the entire continent would be ideal. That gondola ride looks insane. The vastness of the trees that cover the mountains is humbling. One of these we’ll make our way over there and when we do, I’ll remember your post. Thanks for sharing.
South Africa is actually an amazing place too. I assure you itll be a trip worth taking. Thanks for the support
Why is it when I ask my husband about places to see and things to do in Nigeria, all he says is Banana Island? I will be happy if I never see Banana Island- ever :P
