4. Join a Day Hiking Experience to Oke – Ado Awaye: one of two suspended lakes in the world! Can you believe that? This gem is hiding in our backyard and few people have explored it. You asked for a tour and we listened! Join the May 19th day hiking experience. Cost: ₦21,000

7a. Explore Abeokuta: This neighboring city has nature, culture, history & art ALL IN ONE! We have made several visits to Olumo Rock, Adire Market, Olusegun Obasanjo Public Library & the best museum so far in Western Nigeria: Hubert Ogunde Museum. Cost: from ₦18,000
7b. Funfact: Hubert Ogunde is considered the grandfather of Nollywood and the museum is where EVERYTHING about his life has been preserved. This place is so fascinating, I learn something new on each trip. He also had 17 wives! Learn more about him here – https://bit.ly/2HTUIBQ
8. Spend the Day (or night) at Tarkwa Bay: If you like beaches, let me tell you a secret…Tarkwa Bay is nice but Lighthouse Beach is REALLY nice. Take a boat to Tarkwa Bay & walk to Lighthouse where the sand is white & clean. Great for picnics & camping. See more in next tweet.
8b. Canoe boats from CMS, cost ₦600 (round trip per person). Canoes from NAPEX CarPark VI, cost ₦1,000. The big boats cost ₦4,000. Beach entry costs ₦300. Beach seats cost ₦1,000. Not including food, drinks, entertainment & lodging (if you’re spending the night)
8c. I especially love our beach packages to Tarkwa Bay at @TVPAdventures because we give you a great deal for an all-inclusive experience. We handle the boat ride, beach lodges, meals, bbq, drinks, entertainment, bon fire, horse-riding, yoga & lots more. Look out for packages!
9. Spend one night at Jubilee Chalets, Epe: Remember my experience at @jubileechalets? Guess what? If you spend only a night and go with a friend, you can cut your costs further. Send a DM so we can send you all our deals. Cost: from ₦23,000 (only slightly over the 20k limit)
10. Finally, BADAGRY: A tour of Badagry shows the slave route with museums, Point of No Return & Nigeria’s first storey building. Also, amazing beaches. GUESS WHAT! We @TVPAdventures are going again on May 29th. Only 15 slots are available so send a DM to book! Cost: ₦19,000
