Top Four Must Visit Places In Nigeria During Vacation (Photos)

It is becoming worrisome that many Nigerians now visit other countries to spend their vacation.

Nigeria is blessed with vast majority of resources that even tourists struggle to visit as there are beautiful places to explore, visit and enjoy with your family and friends.

For instance; there are mountains, Hills (Idanre Hills), Rocks (Olumo Rocks, Abeokuta), warm springs (Ikogosi in Ekiti State, Enembia in Benue State), and waterfalls (Erin Ijesha/Olumirin in Osun State), National Parks and Reserves (Yankari Game Reserve in Bauchi State) as well as beaches in Lagos and some other states.
