lekki conservation centre

dem0la0

If you are looking for a reserve with a wide variety of big game and wild animals you will be disappointed. But if you are looking for a quiet, serene environment to enjoy a walk surrounded by nature this is the place. The Lekki Conservation Centre is an oasis of calm tucked away in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Lagos. The best times to go are in the morning and evenings when the heat of the afternoon sun haven't driven the animals into hiding. As for wildlife, you will see monkeys, the giant African tortoise, peacocks, the odd monitor lizard, the Nile crocodile (if you are lucky and keep very quiet) and for bird enthusiasts you will definitely find birds and may meet members of the Lagos Bid Club. And if you are not afraid of heights there is a tree house from where you can appreciate the forest.

A small patch of nature very accessible from the hectic city of Lagos. Great get-away for anyone staying in the city. I look forward to the opening of the canopy walk.

Lagos does not offer much to kids no exposure or experience of nature. If you have kids less then 10 to 12, you must take them here. The walk on wooden ramp, the monitor lizards, swamp crabs, birds, the canopy above...it gives you a true feel of nature walking in the jungle. If you are lucky you will end up seeing crocodile in raw nature. Reminds me of SGNP. Sad and un happy..go here, Nature in lagos at its best. Also reminds me of Benin zoo, where I i use to go almost every sunday with a friends family to sit by the side of river, with lion cage on your left, 5 meters away from you and enjoy beer

Being resident in lagos, wanted to go to lekki conservation centre since many years but somehow did not materialise untill in July 2014 when we went in a big group of about 25 adults and children.The place was better than i expected but lacked amenities. We all had to buy a entrance ticket which though a bit steep was worth it as no such environment exists in lagos city now. As soon as we entered we were surprised by the abundance of peacocks, troups of monkeys and of course the grand daddy of them all, a supposedly over 70 years old friendly turtle. inside we walked on the wooden elevated pathways built over a swamp . Since the rainy season had just ended the water level was quite high. Except for having the feeling of being in a real jungle there werent any other natural things to see as the crocodiles were well hidden and no other wildlife visible. The high point was the treehouse which many of us climbed. Overall a good experience but the place could be made better and the walkways very dangerous for unaccompanied children as some missing planks or broken siderails.

I visited the center few days to the end of the year 2014. There were so many small monkeys ( I think that is what they were) moving around freely. The center is a hidden gem away from the bustling of the city. The access fee in my opinion was rather high. Other than that, it is a good place to visit.

Lekki conservation is well worth a visit for anybody craving a little bit of nature far away from the overcrowded hustle and bustle of Lagos. The conservation centre offers the chance to see Crocodiles, Monkeys, Giant Tortoises and many varied species of Butterfly up close, as well as peace and tranquility in amongst the trees. Let's hope at some point they can acquire more land for conservation and increase the size of the centre.

A great environment, lurked far away from the hustle and bustle of Lagos. also far from the local and international airport, and you need to pay 1,000 Naira to get in. Was here with some couple of friends from every part of the continent. they loved it it and were like - "I have never seen a crocodile before until here" great tree cover. The walk way was great, and I think some other ones are under construction. Took us about 1 hour to go round the natural habitat - want to see monkeys - they are here, and I loved the tree climbing part of the walk, try it out if you are bold enough. In all, it was great being here, but I think more could still be done

For 78 or so hectares of rich land. The caretakers do little to keep the path enjoyable. Little sign of life after 5 minutes into the path.The staff are bored and give off a bad vibe

Took a troop of Boy Scouts for a visit. The most fun part were the monkeys running around the parking lot outside of the conservatory. Inside was a track that was ok if you had never been in the Nigerian bush. However, it was poorly maintained. A portion of the wood track running over the water actually collapsed underneath me, leaving me with quite gash along one shin. The upside was that the boys got to practice real first aid on an actual bleeding victim. That was truly the highlight of the visit.

I have been coming here since I was a kid. A wonderful place to hide and gather your thoughts. A tree house to find adventure and endless land bridge to walk and soak in the atmosphere.I wish though they could refresh the playing area for kids. Short of that, nothing more to add (maybe new tree houses!)

It was a big disappointment. It was nice but not worth the trip. We walk for almost 2 hour and No animals, just a couple of monkis. Nothing Special.

I was staying in Ebute Metta, Lagos, for a monthand went to LCC when I got sick of being in the city. Immediately I felt like I was thousands of miles away in the jungle. Walked around 3-4 hours and even the heaviest downpour I have ever witnessed couldn't spoil my mood as I watched crocs and primates in the bushes around me. The best thing is that you may walk around by yourself without a guide.
