Warri Kingdom Royal Cemetery

One of the most exceptional places to visit in Warri, The Royal Cemetery is the resting place of all the kings that have ever reigned in Warri. On the trail to the various locations following a single footpath, one would expect to find tomb stones and other usual markings or landmarks to identify the various resting places, but this is not so. Like any other forest, the usual lush vegetation with trees and plants of various kinds, coupled with the serene environment and the chirping of birds that breaks the silence to welcome tourists to this place of grandeur is the characteristics of this cemetery. What makes it awesome is that an iroko tree is usually planted as soon as a king is buried which makes some of them over 400 years old.
Naturally, one would wander around the forest without it leaving significant impression, but being assisted by a guide to specific locations makes a tour around this much revered site a memorable one.
