Nigeria

Nestled in West Africa, Nigeria stretches from the arid north to the lush, tropical south, bordered by Benin, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, with a coastline along the Gulf of Guinea. The country’s landscape is diverse, featuring savannas, forests, and rivers, including the expansive Niger and Benue. Formed through the amalgamation of British protectorates in 1914, Nigeria has a rich history marked by colonial rule and a vibrant post-independence era. Today, it is a cultural melting pot, home to over 250 ethnic groups, each contributing to a dynamic tapestry of traditions, languages, and festivals. Visitors can explore bustling cities like Lagos, known for its energetic markets and nightlife, or venture into the natural beauty of Yankari National Park, where wildlife thrives.
