When to go and getting around

In the south, the rains usually run from about April to October; the north has a shorter rainy season and very hot months from March to May. The Harmattan brings dry, hazy days around December and January.

Main airports include Lagos (LOS), Abuja (ABV), Port Harcourt (PHC), Kano (KAN) and Enugu (ENU); the Lagos–Ibadan and Abuja–Kaduna railways avoid some long drives. Traffic often matters more than distance in Lagos. Prices are in naira (NGN).

How to compare Nigeria hotel deals

Compare the same room type with breakfast and check backup power, water, security and parking before price. Confirm what pool, gym and spa access the rate includes, and ask about airport transfers for late arrivals.

Travel advice varies by state. Check your government’s current advice for the specific state before booking, and prefer hotel-arranged transport for airport runs and evenings. Displayed hotel-card prices are dated partner snapshots. Check current availability and the final total before booking.
