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.

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.
