Can this tour be less time such as 6 nights? There is a US level 3 warning for Nigeria, and we aren't comfortable going to the north.

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

I'd like to know: 1. What hotel accommodations will I be staying at, and are they included in the overall trip package? 2. Can you please confirm that I will be part of a travel group during this trip, and not traveling alone? 3. If there are any price adjustments needed to fit my dates, could you let me know the exact updated cost?

Yes, it may be possible to shorten the trip to around five days. You could potentially join the group and depart on Day 6 in the evening, or on Day 7 from Abuja, depending on flight availability and logistics. Please note that any changes to the itinerary may require a customized travel arrangement and might affect the overall price.

Is it possible to get transfers if we book an extra night? How much does an extra overnight cost?

Extra overnight costs 90 EUR per room. If you book the additional overnight, we will arrange the transfer. The airport transfer is only included on the first day of the trip.

I'm wondering if it's possible to do this tour between 27 to 31 of August. A short solo tour. How much and would that be possible?

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.

Is it possible to setup a December date for 12 people?

Yes, we can arrange a private departure date for 12 people for you in December. As a private departure, you can choose any date suitable for you. At the moment a 10 % discount is available during the January sale.

I've been researching Nigeria. The current climate appears to be politically charged especially with upcoming elections. What is your policy regarding treating unrest with upcoming tours? Note I'm interested in traveling Jan 2023.

As long as the borders are open we will run the tours. The next group is going there in the end of November. We recommend you to buy a travel insurance to avoid any cancellations on your side if you don't feel comfortable to travel. Please be advised the visa procedure takes at least few weeks.

When will your tour dates open up for September 2023?

We have two dates on 2023, 25FEB and 17NOV

Would you be able to provide me with a letter of invitation and hotel booking itinerary for my Nigeria visa?

Tourist visa in Nigeria does not work very well. What we did for our last group in February is to issue a business visa. The price was 350 USD but that worked out well and we were the only company to run a trip there in FEB.

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

  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.

  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
