Abuja: Nigeria’s cultural crossroad

Book your visit to Abuja

Built in the 1980’s and named the capital of Nigeria in 1991, Abuja is a city that boasts modern infrastructure and natural wonder. Its charm extends far beyond the city centre. Just a short drive away from the hustle and bustle, nature thrives with landscapes of lush greenery and stunning waterfalls.

Explore Abuja’s natural beauty and cultural diversity through galleries, markets and city landmarks. From city dwellings to the quiet hills, the city invites you to adventure and unwind.

Things to do in Abuja

The Abuja National Mosque is one of the top landmarks to visit. The striking architecture is a testament to Abuja’s religious and cultural heritage. Its golden dome, towering minarets and intricate interior are a symbol of unity and spirituality.

When it comes to natural attractions, the Usama Dam offers a tranquil escape, with sparkling waters and green hills to marvel at. It’s also a lovely place to enjoy a picnic. A little further off the beaten path is Gurara Waterfalls, a cascading beauty surrounded by greenery. Feel the thrill of adventure at Wonderland Mountain with its diverse landscapes, perfect for hikes or a quiet stroll.

Activities in Abuja

Take a trip to Nike Art Gallery, a treasure trove of Nigerian creativity. The gallery brims with bold, colourful artwork and detailed sculptures that showcase the city’s cultural heritage. For a family fun day, Sunrise Waterpark is worth a visit. Kids and adults alike will love cooling off in the pools and racing down the slides and water rides. The National Children’s Park and Zoo is another family-friendly place to visit to see native wildlife and exotic animals.

A holiday to Abuja wouldn’t be complete without a deep dive into Nigeria’s wilderness. Take a day trip to the Yankari Game Reserve, a wildlife park like no other. Here, you can spot African bush elephants, African buffaloes, Olive baboons, countless bird species and more.

Food in Abuja

There are a few regional favourites in Abuja that you have to try. First is masa, a fluffy rice cake with a hint of sweetness – delicious on its own or dipped in soup.

Next, make sure to try the popular street food, suya – grilled meat skewers seasoned with a peanut-based spice blend and topped with thinly sliced onions. Looking for a light bite? Try dambu nama, sometimes referred to as meat floss – it’s shredded beef or chicken, seasoned with ground spices and dried. Another popular dried meat snack across Northern Nigeria is kilishi, a spicy beef or sometimes lamb jerky.

And of course, no trip to Nigeria is complete without trying jollof rice, a West African staple that’s as vibrant in taste as it is in colour. This moreish rice dish is cooked in a spicy tomato sauce, typically served with fried plantain and meat, chicken or fish.

Indulge in these city flavours at the Street Food Park in Wuse, where local vendors serve up an array of cultural dishes and desserts. Finally, take a trip to Maitama Farmers’ Market to sample Abuja’s fresh produce.
