What to look forward to?
Nature and Peace—being surrounded by lush green hills and mountaintops, which will enrapture you. View the scenic Holy Mountain and the 200 and counting bird species with binoculars, and go horse-riding, golfing and hiking. It is a good time to meditate and clear your thoughts. The serene environs fill you with awe and give a sense of peace.
Cable car rides! Yes, there are functional cable cars for those who don’t find hiking all that exciting. It is an opportunity to view the mountains, waterfalls and lush green environment from an aerial view. It is the longest in Africa, covering 870 meters (2,850 ft) from the base to the top of the plateau. The ride is a piece de resistance worth every kobo of the fare.
Waterfalls—Agbokim and Grotto. Have you swum in a natural pool before? Here is a chance! The Agbokim and Grotto waterfalls are pure and majestic.
Canopy Walkway—the Becheve nature reserve canopy. It is an exhilarating experience to walk on this trail! It is a 100m long and 70m high swaying bridge above the forest ground level. Safety precautions are in place and you get a great view of green trees and clouds.
Chill weather—Obudu Mountain Resort is on Obudu Plateau, which means the weather is cool all year round. Waking up to see fogs around the mountain is so breathtaking. Take warm clothing along, as mornings are known to be very chilly. However, the bonfire is nightly!
Variety of accommodations are available dependent on your budget; you get value for your money and the service delivery is excellent. The African Hut, Mountain villa, Governor’s Lodge, Presidential Suite, Family Unit, and Club chalet are accommodations available.
