About Cross River National Park

Cross River National Park protects the last remaining lowland rainforest in Nigeria — a UNESCO-recognised biodiversity hotspot that is home to critically endangered Cross River gorillas, chimpanzees, forest elephants, and over 600 bird species. The park covers two sectors (Oban and Okwangwo) and offers guided hiking, canopy walks and wildlife watching. For adventure travellers seeking genuine wilderness, this is one of West Africa's most extraordinary destinations.

Almost perfect — small room for improvement.

Clean, well-maintained and peaceful. Exactly what you need after the hustle of the city streets. Told all my friends about it already.

Literally the best experience I've had in Nigeria.

Beautiful green space in the heart of the city. Perfect for a morning jog or a picnic with family. Already planning to come back with family.
