Synopsis:

Despite its negative image, for travelers with an open mind and friendly demeanor Nigeria is an incredibly absorbing country in which to travel. Experience the mind-boggling chaos of Lagos, the traditional durbars, Benin bronzes and walled cities, and enjoy its single greatest quality – the warm generosity of 140 million people.

Details of getting around, by bush taxi, rail, car or on foot, together with accommodations options, wildlife watching and activities, are balanced by a wealth of background information, from history (of a country dating back thousands of years) and geography to culture and the environment.

From the Back Cover: Despite negative images of Africa's most populous country, the traveler to Nigeria will meet nothing but kindness and hospitality. Who could fail to be intrigued by the mind-boggling chaos of Lagos, drawn by the traditional durbars, Benin bronzes and walled cities, and relieved by the absence of tourist-related hassle so prevalent elsewhere in Africa?
In Nigeria: The Bradt Travel Guide, Lizzie Williams puts the record straight. While pulling no punches about the country's extremes, she encourages the visitor to explore beyond the expat compound and enjoy its single greatest quality - the warm generosity of 140 million people.
