Can you really go on a Daycation with only 20,000 Naira? Yes! I really want us to see the amazing opportunities we have to explore beautiful Africa. Guess what! Lagos is a great place to start!
Here are 10 Things to Do Around Lagos on a Budget (20k or less)!
#MyBudgetAfrica
1. UPBEAT Centre Day - This trampoline park is a hit for adults & children. See that boy feeling me in the photo? I was feeling myself too, no lie. The @UpbeatCentre has UPPED the game for family fun & fitness. There are several package options available.
Cost: from ₦2,500
2. Take a Lagos City Tour - Sometimes you need to explore your city as a tourist. We have tours at @TVPAdventures that allow you get lost in the fun! Combination of LCC, Nike Art Gallery, Kayaking, Crafts Market, National Museum, Tarkwa Bay & lots more!
Cost: from ₦14,500
3. Go on a Lagos Cruise: I went on a night time cruise with @PrestCruise in Lagos and the view was spectacular. The cost included an amazing buffet, drinks & awesome music. Grab your friends and enjoy a true Lagos party while cruising Africa's hottest city!
Cost: from ₦14,000
4. Join a Day Hiking Experience to Oke - Ado Awaye: one of two suspended lakes in the world! Can you believe that? This gem is hiding in our backyard and few people have explored it. You asked for a tour and we listened! Join the May 19th day hiking experience.
Cost: ₦21,000
5. Host a Picnic at Lekki Conservation Center: many people have heard about LCC: this nature reserve boasts Africa's longest canopy walk! It is a fantastic thrill experience. Grab your food and drinks and enjoy an outing with family or friends!
Cost: from ₦3,000
6. Get Lost in Nature at LUFASI: This is a gem that people don't know about. At @LufasiPark, you can picnic in a lush forest setting, ride horses, play sports, learn about conservation and even pluck mangoes!!! Also, you can ask to plant a tree 🌴🌳
Cost: from ₦1000
7a. Explore Abeokuta: This neighboring city has nature, culture, history & art ALL IN ONE! We have made several visits to Olumo Rock, Adire Market, Olusegun Obasanjo Public Library & the best museum so far in Western Nigeria: Hubert Ogunde Museum.
Cost: from ₦18,000
7b. Funfact: Hubert Ogunde is considered the grandfather of Nollywood and the museum is where EVERYTHING about his life has been preserved. This place is so fascinating, I learn something new on each trip. He also had 17 wives! Learn more about him here - bit.ly/2HTUIBQ
8. Spend the Day (or night) at Tarkwa Bay: If you like beaches, let me tell you a secret...Tarkwa Bay is nice but Lighthouse Beach is REALLY nice. Take a boat to Tarkwa Bay & walk to Lighthouse where the sand is white & clean. Great for picnics & camping. See more in next tweet.
8b. Canoe boats from CMS, cost ₦600 (round trip per person). Canoes from NAPEX CarPark VI, cost ₦1,000. The big boats cost ₦4,000. Beach entry costs ₦300. Beach seats cost ₦1,000.
Not including food, drinks, entertainment & lodging (if you're spending the night)
8c. I especially love our beach packages to Tarkwa Bay at @TVPAdventures because we give you a great deal for an all-inclusive experience. We handle the boat ride, beach lodges, meals, bbq, drinks, entertainment, bon fire, horse-riding, yoga & lots more. Look out for packages!
9. Spend one night at Jubilee Chalets, Epe: Remember my experience at @jubileechalets? Guess what? If you spend only a night and go with a friend, you can cut your costs further. Send a DM so we can send you all our deals.
Cost: from ₦23,000 (only slightly over the 20k limit)
10. Finally, BADAGRY: A tour of Badagry shows the slave route with museums, Point of No Return & Nigeria's first storey building. Also, amazing beaches.
GUESS WHAT! We @TVPAdventures are going again on May 29th. Only 15 slots are available so send a DM to book!
Cost: ₦19,000
11. The Badagry trip of ₦19,000 is on May 29, 2018 (a PUBLIC HOLIDAY) & includes: AC Bus, breakfast, lunch, drinks, water, professional trip photography, @TVPAdventures goody bag, lots of fun & all tours (Point of No Return, Slave Relics, First Storey Building, Beach Hangout)!
