The most populous country in Africa, Nigeria is on the western side of the continent and borders the Gulf of Guinea. Along with its sizable population, the country has a diverse climate and a number of tourist attractions.
- The Awhum waterfall. Located near the city of Enugu in the village of Amaugwe, the Awhum waterfall is almost 100 feet high. After a 45-minute walk, visitors reach the waterfall. Its waters are warm year round and said to have curative properties.
- The Dubar festival. One of the world’s oldest military festivals, the Dubar festival is held in a handful of cities around the country. As the culmination of two Muslim festivals--Id-el Fitri and Ide-el Kabir--the most ornate version can be found in Katsina. With teams of horses, singing, dancing, and displays from the Emir’s regimental guards, the festival is an energetic celebration.
- Yankari Game Reserve. Although Nigeria is home to several game reserves, the Yankari Game Reserve is the most popular. Covering an area of almost 800 square miles, it includes the Wikki Warm Springs and Yankari Park. A savanna woodland, the game reserve is notable for its birds, elephants, monkeys, and other large native animals.
