The answer depends on your plans while in Nigeria. Away to Africa travel group: you fly into the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) in Lagos, Nigeria, where your tour guide will meet you and handle all of your needs while in Nigeria. Making your own itinerary: we would recommend flying into Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) in Lagos, Nigeria OR Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) in Abuja, Nigeria. You can then get a local flight on Ibom Air or Air Peace to travel to Victor Attah International Airport (QUO) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. If you are creating your own itinerary, please let us know.
Stay tuned. We will begin providing hotel suggestions in May 2026.
Major international airlines such as Virgin Atlantic, Delta, United, British Airways, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Egypt Air, and Air France operate flights to Lagos and Abuja.
The Yellow Fever vaccine is required for entry, and you’ll need to carry your yellow card. Many people also take malaria prevention medication and pack mosquito repellent. Bring any personal prescriptions and basic over-the-counter medicines you may need.
For Lagos and Akwa Ibom, expect warm, tropical temperatures—light, breathable fabrics work best.
The local currency is the Nigerian Naira (₦). You can exchange U.S. dollars at the airport, banks, or through verified currency exchange services. Some major credit cards are accepted at many hotels, but cash is preferred in local markets and smaller towns.
Yes. Nigeria uses Type D and Type G outlets (same as the U.K.) with a 230V supply voltage. Bring a universal adapter and voltage converter for your phone, tablet, or curling iron. You can see some of our recommended items on the Amazon list that can found in the private Nigeria Bound 2026 Facebook group.

NO. It’s best to drink only bottled or filtered water and use bottled water for brushing your teeth as well.
You can buy a local SIM card or use an international data plan from your carrier. Most hotels and restaurants offer Wi-Fi, and WhatsApp is widely used for communication. You might want to ise a VPN service during your trip if you want to easily access websites that in the US. We have a recommended VPN service in the private Nigeria Bound 2026 Facebook group.
It's important to be mindful of traditional etiquette. Always use your right hand for handshakes, exchanging money, or passing objects, as using the left hand is considered disrespectful. When greeting elders, show respect through a warm handshake, a gentle bow, or a polite nod.
