Lagos might be the largest city in Africa, but isn’t devoid of nature, and visitors can experience something of the wilderness at Lekki Conservation Centre, an expansive urban nature park on the coast. A canopy walkway – a long, narrow suspension bridge that’s not for the faint of heart – carries you above wetlands inhabited by tropical birds, monkeys and crocodiles. The nature park also features a tree house and family picnic area, but visitors are advised to keep an eye on their food or else risk losing it to the resident monkeys. Lufasi Nature Park is an animal rescue center and nature preserve in Lekki that welcomes visitors to stroll among rare native ekki trees and see animals, some in enclosures and some roaming freely. There’s a bird and butterfly garden, forest adventure walk, fern garden and playground for children. Visitors are welcome to bring their own food and drinks or purchase some inside.

But the highlight of any daytrip from Lagos to Epe is definitely going to be taking a small boat or canoeing through the mangroves, where you’ll get a taste of Nigerian nature. Just watch out for the crocodiles! You’ll need to organize a driver for the day, but otherwise most of the tour can be arranged independently. Find more details at Short Let serviced apartments.
