TWI Travel Guide To: Nigeria - 'Land of the Free, Home of the Brave'

Best Time To Visit

So, if you're planning a trip to Nigeria, the best time to head over is between November and March. It's the perfect weather for checking out the wildlife, plus it's not as crowded in February and March which is after 'Detty December' has ended. This way, you skip the super hot and super wet months and have the perfect temperature. 

Know Before You Go

1. The Bargaining Culture

When you're out and about in the lively and dynamic world of Nigeria, it's super exciting to dive into the local culture and customs. One of these is the enjoyable art of bargaining. This is especially true when you step into the local markets, a vibrant hub where an array of goodies from fresh fruits to beautiful handmade crafts are up for grabs every day. Unlike regular stores with fixed prices, in these buzzing markets, it's totally normal to negotiate prices. So, don't be shy! Jump right in and haggle a little over the price tags. It's all part of the unique and fun shopping experience in Nigeria. Plus, bargaining is not just about saving some cash (though that's a nice bonus), it's also a fantastic way to chat with the locals and get a real feel for their way of life.
