Any Eastern Africa country; Ethiopia or Tanzania.

Personally, I see most West African countries as another version of Naija.

There are lot of Tourism agencies and agents in Tanzania, am sure one of them can invite you.
BTW I'm suprised with your US PR/even Visa , you can't get Tanzania Visa on arrival. Have you checked well?
Here in Nigeria someone can even submit your passport for you and you get the visa as long as the required documents are there

Do this, fly to Rwanda, on arrival apply for ETV, East African tourist visa allows you to enter Rwanda / Uganda / Kenya for 90 days and it cost 100 dollars, the sticker will be fixed on your passport at Kigali airport and you are stamped into the country, enjoy Kigali and take a bus from Kigali to Uganda / Kampala it cost around 10,000 to 15,000 Rwanda franc which is about 6000 naira, at Uganda border, you will be asked few questions and stamped into the country, from Uganda you can go to Kenya as well but since you have a US green card, it might be easier for Kenya immigration to allow you in via land border because they have started refusing Nigerians to enter the country via land border because of the nonsense some idiots have done in the past especially yahoo and drug boys but I think they will allow you because of your US green card, I did all the above the few times l visited East Africa and it worked for me.....

Caveat>>>>> with only your Nigerian passport, you might be refused entry via land border into Kenya despite having the ETV, they will tell you to go and fly into Nairobi but with your GREEN CARD, it is an added advantage for you to be allowed entry via land border, l have always entered via land border into the East African countries because I have a second passport l bring out if kasala happens and they want to start too much grammar especially when they see the Nigerian passport, good luck grin

lt doesn't cover Tanzania but it will give you an added advantage having it on your passport because it covers those 3 countries l mentioned but you can also book a 4 or 5 star hotel in Tanzania, tell them to act as your sponsors to the country and that you are coming for vacation, mention the number of days you will spend in Tanzania and let them indicate it in the invitation letter to you , you will be able to navigate the land border, your US GREEN CARD is a plus for you as well, once they see your hotel reservation / invitation, your return ticket back to the US, and enough BTA on you (cash preferably) they will stamp you visa on arrival wink

Ignore everything else here and visit Morroco and see Casablanca, Copacabana.
Morroco is beautiful with lots of exotic culture and tourist attractions beeautiful people, great food and mesmerizing art and music it's like Spain in Africa but still better than Spain imo

Choose Namibia. Safe and beautiful, but not sure if it comes cheap.
1.6 million tourists went there just last year in a country of a similar population size.

You are right, since Nigeria now has the best security in the world, l wonder why some people prefer going for tourism outside Nigeria, Nigeria is the safest country on earth and even at that tourist are not coming to Nigeria, l wonder why? shocked

Nigeria has great places though, the Yankari reserve for example is one place every Nigerian looking to enjoy a good vacation within should visit.

It's beautiful there.

I personally recommend this post. You did a very good job. I will also want to try it out. I am planning a business trip to Lome, Togo and from there to Ghana then back to Nigeria. I will look forward to a trip to Rwanda.
