I live in England, will be travelling to Nigeria soon. I will like to visit the Obudu cattle ranch in Calabar but I could not find how or where to start as there is no website or phone number to call. Please could someone help me with ideas and what to expect while there. Thanks [color=#006600][/color][/size][/font] |

Hello @ibenwanne, i was at Obudu in April with my family for Easter and we had an awesome time. First and foremost i will encourage you to do a proper planning for your trip to the Ranch from wherever you are coming from. Upon arrival there i can assure you that Obudu is one of the best Resorts in Nigeria . The rooms are nice but a bit more expensive compared with the standard anywhere else in the world. I will leave the rest to your imagination. You can place a call to "Remlord Tourism - 08191303238", they actually helped with my logistics from Lagos to the Ranch. |

Thanks for having the time and effort to write about it. 1 will be coming from England, few days in Abuja, then onward to Obudu. Please do advise me, is driving down there better than getting a flight or is there any other means of getting there with less stress. Thanks |

Dyt: ^^^If it's true that the road leading to the resort is bad (6 hrs on a bad road should be murder on the bum), and the cable cars (one of the reasons for going there in the first place) aren't working, then i've got a simple question: what the f*uck has Imoke been doing for the past four and a half years ? Obudu is the jewel in the crown for Cross Rivers State, but i feel they're not doing enough to sell the resort to the rest of the country/world . Maybe it would have been a better story if Duke was still in charge. Imagine, someone from abroad is considering visiting the place for christmas with his family and there's next to no information out there to help him plan his trip. I tire for this country. Sometimes the problems we have as a country don't need much to solve, but due to our laziness and lack of imagination the problems persist. |

Obudu s lovely dont misquote me all clue i gave s b4 u get dere, d only means of transportation s d rd,d plane n cable dat goes frm calabar-obudu aint operatin no more |
Re: Obudu Cattle Ranch In Calabar, Nigeria by PROUDIGBO(m): 12:28am On Dec 23, 2011 |
Who is misquoting you ? Where did i say that Obudu is not lovely? The cable car not working and the stopping of flights between Calabar and Obudu shows a lack of seriousness on the part of whoever is incharge, and that was what i was talking about. And if i understood your text speak well, you also alluded to the fact that the road (6 hours journey) is in a bad state. Surely that's the State Govts responsibility to fix. It seems the State Govt is underperforming, and if we don't call their attention to these issues, they may think everything is ok and it's business as usual. The natural beauty of the place was not what i was talikng about in this instance. |

You did hit the bull in the eye, if all these aren't working or functioning as it should be, why calling it paradise on earth or paradise in Nigeria. I did like you thinking and the way it did flows. Cheers |

The road to Obudu from Calabar is not bad at all. the 6 hours or so journey is just the length of the journey. It is long by road. The cable cars and shuttle flights stopped working. . .true. |
