About this Event
ABOUT THE TOUR
Set your sights on Badagry 🌴, where history, culture, and nature collide in one of Nigeria’s most significant coastal towns. Known as a gateway to the past, Badagry tells a story of resilience, trade, and freedom. On the Beyond the Shore tour, you’ll uncover the rich history that shaped not just Nigeria, but the world, as you explore historical landmarks, immerse yourself in the local culture, and end the day with your toes in the sand at the serene Coconut Beach.
Your journey begins with a comfortable ride along the scenic route from Lagos to Badagry, setting the tone for a day of exploration and reflection. Once in Badagry, you’ll walk in the footsteps of history, visiting the Badagry Heritage Museum, where the story of the transatlantic slave trade comes to life. The museum is not just a collection of artifacts, but a deeply emotional and educational experience that highlights Nigeria’s role in the global narrative of freedom and resilience. From there, we’ll visit the First Storey Building in Nigeria, a relic of colonial history, and walk along the Slave Route, where echoes of the past still linger.
This tour offers more than sightseeing—it is an opportunity to connect with the history of the land, a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come, and how much further we must go.
Each stop on this journey is a window into the past, offering profound insight into Nigeria’s cultural heritage. After delving into the depths of Badagry’s history, we’ll take you to the calming shores of Coconut Beach. Here, the mood shifts to one of relaxation and reflection, with the sun dipping into the horizon over the Atlantic Ocean. The beach, lined with coconut palms, is the perfect spot to unwind, take in the ocean breeze, and enjoy some quiet time by the water. While food isn’t included in the package, we’ll stop at a local restaurant that specializes in delicious Nigerian cuisine. Savor the rich, authentic flavors of local dishes that will make your taste buds dance with excitement.
