Our favourite destination in Nigeria

Experience Africa at its finest with a direct flight to Nigeria. Witness the spectacular, elaborate brass sculptures of ancient gods in the southern region of the country and marvel at the sublime natural beauty of the Farin Ruwa waterfalls at the heart of Nigeria. 

Discover one of the oldest cities in West Africa, Kano, with our flights to Nigeria from the UK. From here, you can follow traces of the Sahara trade route. Go shopping in Lekki Market and haggle for unique gifts, like West African tribal art and wood-carved furniture. Then take a trip to Yankari National Park and behold the natural beauty of Nigeria with exotic wildlife in its natural habitat.

Book your direct flight from London Heathrow to Nigeria and explore all that the 'Giant of Africa' has to offer.

Things to do in Nigeria

Eleko Beach

Stunning beaches

If you're looking for peace and serenity, head to Eleko Beach in the east of Lagos. Take a horseback ride along the beachfront, play a few games of volleyball and buy some local art from the beachside stalls. When you're finished, hit the bar for a cool drink.

Matsirga Waterfalls

Luxurious waterfalls

Marvel at the natural beauty of the Matsirga Waterfalls in Kafanchan, a town in Kaduna State, north-central Nigeria. Bask in the tranquil, soothing waterfall as it plunges 30 metres or eat a picnic down on the riverbank while you take in the beauty of the area.

Balogun Market

Vibrant markets

There are many markets in Lagos but nothing as famous as Balogun Market. Spanning several streets in the heart of the traditional commercial district of the city, you’ll find a range of goods from fabric to household appliances – and everything in between.
