If you’ve always wanted to explore the beauties of Western Africa, look no further than our cheap flights to Nigeria, here at Globehunters.

With rural areas featuring vast lowland and mountainous regions as well as more modern cities such Lagos, Nigeria is home to some beautiful landscapes.

Tropical lagoons, rainforests, waterfalls and mountains, Nigeria has it all. Areas such as the Lekki Forest Reserve offer an escape from the busy pace of the cities, with lots of trails to follow, taking in the tropical plant and animal life.

If it’s more of a relaxing holiday you’re after, Lagos is home to many beaches such as Bar Beach, Badagary beach and Tarkwa Bay.

A little further north, you can visit the mountain resort of Obudu if you’d rather a relaxing break a little further away from the hustle and bustle of Lagos.

If you want to learn more about Nigeria’s history, head to Calabar or Tinapa, where you’ll find poignant monuments to victims of the slave trade.

Nigeria has plenty to offer adventurous visitors, and is a vibrant and exciting country to visit, but do refer to the government’s travel advice as they do advise against visiting some areas of the country.

We are proud to offer Business class flights to Nigeria as well as economy.
