5 Parks To Visit In Nigeria

One place you can always bring your family to is a park. In developed countries, parks are a haven most kids look forward to and always want to be. In Nigeria, the story is not so different either because of the numerous parks designed to meet this need.  From one part of the country to another, these parks have become some of the most visited tourist sites. The following parks will bring great pleasure for you and your family.

You can visit Kainji Lake National Park from different parts of the country. It is situated between the Borgu-Zugurma sectors of Kwara State. There is diverse wildlife here such as the hippotamus, kob, antelope, and lions to name a few. There are cultural and ethno-historical sites too.  This is not the Kainji Lake oil hydroelectric complex, but they are closely linked. You do not need to worry about seeing huge electric poles and installations here. There is life here besides electricity.

It looks as if Abuja takes it all when it comes to national parks in Nigeria. The largest public park is the Millennium Park. It has great walkways with lights and fountains. There is a river running through the center of the park that hasn’t been altered for those who want to see nature’s beauty.  There are greenhouses for tropical birds and butterflies.  This is one park you would love to visit with family, friends, or a partner.
