Travel in Nigeria with Intrepid

Flag
Forget what you think you know about Nigeria, this may be one of the most underestimated countries in Africa. It’s culturally rich, geographically diverse and filled with unique wildlife. Remote towns cling to age-old customs, modern cities thrive with beautiful parklands and in between are national parks, sacred forests and animal reserves screaming out to be explored.

Top 5 Nigerian Flavours

  1. Egusi: This soup is Nigeria in a bowl. Made with meat, dried fish, legumes and melon seeds - it’s rich, filling and moreish.
  2. Plantains: Africa’s famous green bananas are good anyway they’re cooked: fried, boiled or roasted.
  3. Zobo: A sweet herbal tea-like drink made from dried roselle flowers. It’s often drunk cold and mixed with pineapple juice.
  4. Chin Chin: Donuts, African-style! These little balls of fried dough are a Nigerian favourite. Usually sweet and always crunchy, they’re sometimes flavoured with nutmeg.
  5. Suya: A shish kebab-type dish made with beef, fish or chicken rubbed with fragrant ground spices.
