📍

For some outdoor touring and hiking, you could try:

  • 2 Old Oyo National Park, Iseyin - Oyo Rd, Isokun, Oyo (park office 57 km north of Ibadan, actual park is like another 40 km north), ☏ +234 8035928616, josephassam@rocketmail.com. This national park has rather fallen by the wayside. It used to the home of the critically endangered African wild dog, but no longer. There are in fact few animals left. But there are some interesting rock formations and natural landscape features to see. (updated Aug 2020)
  • 4 Viva Cinema, The Palms Shopping Mall, MKO Abiola Way, ☏ +234 817 215 1180. 8AM-10PM. (updated Jan 2022)
