4 Wildlife Destinations in Nigeria

I was recently asked – does Nigeria have wildlife in zoos or in parks? I responded and said, “we have both in the zoo and in several parks in Nigeria”. This person marveled at my answer. Now, you should know that the person who asked me this question is not Nigerian. He is Rwandan, and if you are familiar with tourism on the African continent, you will know that East Africa is highly visited because of it’s wildlife potential. Yes, my answer was strange to him since he had never heard Nigeria had such resources. I then sent him pictures of Adedotun’s work on Instagram, but I felt that was not enough. If you need to be convinced about Nigeria’s wildlife potential, then you should listen and learn from the experience of someone who has visited quite a number of them in Nigeria. This is what led me to invite Adedotun as a guest today, among-st other things. Enjoy the interview. Wildlife Travel Destinations in Nigeria. 1. Question: Kindly Introduce yourself.
