      We can organise a shorter trip for you. We do not go to the north and this is a standard itinerary. Maybe we can skip Badagry in this case. Let us work on sugegsted itinerary and will get back to you

      George

      Traveler•Written January 2024

      I'm curious to find out what the price would be. Yes I will be travelling alone. It's those dates because it's between two other tour. After I'm planning to go to Chad, and therefore from Abuja. So travel expenses and visa service? I didn't do a lot of research about the visa process. But I'm not able to to go to the Nigerian embassy since I don't live in my home country of Norway.

    • Penguin TravelOperator•Written January 2024

      Only business visa works for Nigeria. It costs around 300$. So we should quote on itinerary for 5 days Lagos- Abuja for 1 person?

    • G

      George

      Traveler•Written February 2024

      Sorry for not seeing this response before. Ohh that was much more expensive visa than I expected. What would a private 5 day travel cost approximately?

    • Penguin TravelOperator•Written February 2024

      Private tours are 60-70% more expensive as we have to cover all costs for guide and transportation with only 1 person booked.

      Traveler•Written January 2024

      Is it possible for the accommodations to be upgraded to 5 star where applicable?

    • Penguin TravelOperator•Written January 2024

      Sure hotel upgrades are possible both in Lagos and Abuja. 5-star hotel upgrade for 6 overnights would be approximately 8-850 EUR if we opt for the best ones. The average 5-star hotel would be 6-650 EUR extra

      Barbara

      Traveler•Written January 2024

      Can you tell me the amount pp in usd? Also what the minimum amount of people I need for a new date?

      Traveler•Written January 2024

      Thanks so much for the quick response! You are awesome!!! Ok so by any chance do you have an example of the standard hotels that come with the tour.

    • Penguin TravelOperator•Written January 2024

      Below you can find hotels from a recent trip, the price is based on standard 3 * hotels. Msquare Hotel GRA, Lagos

    • B

      Barbara

      Traveler•Written January 2024

      Ok I would want to stick with the standard rooms. Can you give me a quote for 7 people counting myself. I would want to have a single room by myself and for my price to be incorporated within the others.

    • Penguin TravelOperator•Written January 2024

      If we stick to the standard hotels the price is 1449 EUR per person + 200 EUR local payment per person based on TWIN sharing while the January promotion is in place. Price for a Single room is 1449+280 EUR per SGL room + 200 EUR local payment. Summary: 6 participants on TWIN/ DBL sharing + 1 SGL Free of charge would be 10423 EUR + 1400 EUR local payment

      Barbara

      Traveler•Written January 2024

      Great! And the total deposit? And this is added to the Oct 24 date correct? If I want a separate date we need 8? I want to see how many people I can get deposits on this date. Thanks!

    • Penguin TravelOperator•Written January 2024

      The deposit required is 30% of the total amount. If you get more people and they are interested in another departure date we can arrange a private tour.
