Five Unforgettable Road Trip Routes Across Nigeria

Nigeria rewards a good road trip. Here are five routes — and the kind of car that makes each one better.

1. Lagos to Lekki coastline

A short, breezy coastal run. A convertible or any comfortable sedan does the job.

2. Abuja to the Jos Plateau

Cool air and switchback roads. Book something with a bit of torque — a mid-size SUV is ideal.

3. Calabar river loop

Lush and humid. Air-conditioning is non-negotiable here.

4. Enugu hills

Great tarmac, gentle climbs, and views that earn every photo stop.

5. Kano old-city circuit

Flat and easy — perfect for a first-timer behind the wheel.
