About IITA Forest Reserve Ibadan

Within the vast campus of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture lies one of Southern Nigeria's most intact fragments of lowland rainforest — a 350-hectare nature reserve that is both a scientific research site and an accessible escape for Ibadan residents. Guided walks reveal a forest floor dense with medicinal plants, tree species used by the Institute's agronomists, and a bird community that includes several species rarely seen elsewhere in the region. The IITA campus itself, with its wide roads and research facilities, is a remarkable institution worth experiencing.

Wonderful experience, just a few small things.

Clean, well-maintained and peaceful. Exactly what you need after the hustle of the city streets. Would definitely return on my next trip.

Could be much better with some effort.

Great family spot. The kids had a fantastic time and the facilities were clean and accessible. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
