Nigeria is a great place to visit, and has plenty of off the radar attractions that would make for fun adventures. Wildlife reserves are probably the most popular attraction in the country.

Check out some options to go on Safari through wildlife. You can do that in the daytime and still find time in your day to see what the night life options are in South Africa. We will outline below the absolute best options for exploring in Nigeria and the surrounding regions.

South Africa is also home to Cape Town, one of the most interesting cities in the world. Watch penguins frolic on the beach, spend a day at a winery, or a night out on the town.

While land-based casinos in Nigeria are limited, you can still find a South African casino  to go to while you are there. Since options for playing in person are a bit limited, you also might want to consider playing online.
