The blockbuster Jurassic World furnishes the mind, in a way, for those who have witnessed Obudu Mountain Resort (via n th hand information) and equally seen the movie. The theatrical allusion does not however echo the Mesozoic era’s grandeur of dinosaurs but resonates the blithe significance of ecotourism.

The Obudu Modern Resort formerly referred to as Obudu Cattle Ranch, Cross River is a top international attraction for comfort and relaxation in exotic natural environments and is contentiously the most fascinating tourist delight in the country because it speaks the language of luxury in a unique signature. This is evident from the large chunk of millions gone to its development and operation overtime.

The Mountain Resort near Obudu is a 30 minute’s drive from the town and it is 332km from Calabar. If you want to bypass the long road trip a charter air service is always available to the Bebi Airport which lies between Obudu and the Resort.

Dining

The Resort has four restaurants that serve local and international dishes. Walk into either of the restaurants and you are bound to feel nostalgia. It remains a talking point if Obudu Resort’s Terrace Restaurant really offers the most toothsome cuisines any renowned tourist center in the country provides.

* *Moving Around

You choose how you explore the captivating world of the resort whether by hoofing it or a ride in one of the resort’s wonder; the cable cars which convey passengers from the base to the top of the mountain. Horse riding in the forests is also refreshing.

Recreational Activities

Watch the birds and you can choose to see nature from the lens of a binocular to enjoy your sight-seeing. Hiking, swimming, work out at the fitness center, a visit to the golf course, the ranch, zoo and the water fall are places you can visit for your pleasure.

As absorbing as Obudu Mountain Resort is constant power supply and security remain on its con-card.

However with numerous pleasant mountain-areas and country-views, over 160 accommodation categories made up of standard rooms, executive rooms, huts and chalets to a presidential apartment amidst its abundant ecotourism potentials Obudu stands fascinating and remains an enchantment to tourists.
