LAGOS

ENERGY-DRIVEN ESCAPES TO LAGOS

Nothing really prepares you for Lagos until you are inside it — the traffic that moves like a living organism, the music spilling from streets and bars, markets that feel like they never switch off, and the constant sense that something is happening all the time. Lagos leaves you charged — not because of monuments, but because the city is built on motion, ambition and survival. It stays with you long after the flight home.

Already curious? Speak to our West Africa specialists.

Lagos is the heartbeat of Nigeria — business towers in Victoria Island, nightlife and beach clubs in Lekki, art and design spaces in Eko Atlantic and Ikoyi, and markets like Balogun and Lekki Arts & Crafts Market where colour, sound and bargaining run side by side. Move a little outside the city and the tone shifts again — Badagry for history, Tarkwa Bay for surf and sand, and Epe for mangroves and lagoon life.

And Lagos is not just urban energy — West Africa around it is full of dramatic contrasts. You can witness Atlantic coastlines stretching for miles, explore traditional kingdoms and royal palaces, boat across lagoons lined with stilt villages, or follow cultural trails through Benin City, Abeokuta and other historic centres. Music, textiles, sculpture and spoken word aren’t museum items here — they live in the streets, clubs and studios of everyday life.

Travel north or across the border and the landscapes change again: Sahel plains, savannah wildlife reserves, old trading towns and desert approaches that remind you how large and layered the region is.

It is not hard to see why Lagos and West Africa leave a deep impression — the experiences are not staged, they are lived. Our travel designers can build an itinerary that captures the Lagos energy you want — whether that means music, culture, coastline, business stopover or a wider regional exploration.
