The New Afrika Shrine is an open-air entertainment centre located in Ikeja, Lagos State. It serves as the host location of the annual Felabration music festival.

It’s possible to arrange various water-based activities through local providers in Lagos. Look into Kayak Lagos, Optimel Water Sports and Lagos Fishing Charters, which offers sport fishing charters in the Gulf of Guinea. Another appealing way to enjoy an action-packed day on the beach is to arrange the “daycation” package at La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort. It gives you access to a private beach, swimming pools and a mangrove forest where you can spot monkeys and tropical birds. Available activities include family boat cruises, jet ski and kayak rentals, fishing in the lagoon and horseback riding.
There’s no understanding West Africa without learning about the tragic history of the slave trade and the havoc colonial slavers wrecked across the region. A trip to the historic town of Badagry is sure to leave you pensive as you explore relics of this unfortunate chapter of Nigerian (and world) history at the Badagry Black Heritage Museum. Badagry is also a charming town in its own right, and is near some decent beaches, so it makes for another worthwhile daytrip from Lagos. Again, to get there it’s likely best to organize a private driver, though there is at least one company offering tours to locals (click here to check them out).
