A Day at Lekki Conservation Centre: If Lagos had a “pause” button, it would be called Lekki Conservation Centre. Let’s be honest , between the traffic, the noise, and the hustle of city life, sometimes you just need a little greenery and a lot of breeze. Located along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, this 78-hectare nature reserve is like walking straight into another world. One filled with monkeys that might side-eye your snacks, towering trees that tell old stories, and the longest canopy walkway in Africa (yup, Africa).
Nature, But Make It Lagos-Style: The moment you walk in, the city’s noise fades away and nature takes over — birds chirping, monkeys jumping across trees like they pay rent there, and that unmistakable earthy calm that makes you exhale without realizing it. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot peacocks doing their slow strut, tortoises minding their business, or those cheeky monkeys plotting how to snatch your plantain chips. (Pro tip: zip your bag!)
The Canopy Walkway (The star of the show) — Not for the Faint-Hearted. At 401 metres long, it’s the longest in Africa. Every step creaks, sways, and tests your faith in physics but oh, the view! Once you’re up there, Lagos spreads out beneath you, the trees look like a green ocean, and for a moment, you forget about deadlines and data bundles. It’s the kind of thrill that makes you scream halfway and laugh at yourself when you touch the ground again.
Picnic, Chill, Repeat. After your walk, grab a spot at the family park. It’s perfect for picnics, games, or just lying flat on the grass pretending you’re in a movie. There are wooden huts, board games, and open spaces where laughter echoes louder than traffic horns. It’s also a favourite for couples, families, and content creators (because the pictures? Chef’s kiss. )
