Ekiti Set For First Mountain Safari (tourists To Climb Ofin Mt, Iyin-ado Ekiti) by daveP(m): 2:57am On Apr 22, 2019
Ekiti state is set to Join the list of states that will be included in the Top 10 states in Nigeria where Tourists can travel to or visit for Hiking.
This will be the very First of its Kind as the #DiscoverEkiti Team will lead several tourists and Ekiti Indigenes For First Mountain Safari.

Ekiti State derives its name from the moulds and mountains which characterised its topography on which the people planted themselves.

At the creation of states and nations which make up Nigeria, the people who are found in pockets of settlements on the hills, mountain and moulds in the north- western part of the Yoruba land were referred to as the Okiti people. They are the people who planted their settlements on moulds, hills and mountains.

But for effective pronunciation and language enhancement, ‘Okiti’ ‘Ekiti’ as we now have the it.

Tourism investors, cultural entertainment enhancers, and professional tourism package hosting concerns who have seen Ekiti as a paragon of tourism now have the confidence of turning their dreams of Ekiti tourism into realities.

Thus, Hike Ekiti Mountain Safari, an organisation being propelled by Michael Peculiar, has set Monday, 22 April (Easter Monday), as the day of hosting the first ever Mountain Safari in Ekiti State.

According to Peculiar “Being a mountain safari buff and patron with copious experience in Morroco, Dubai and Yobe State, I have come to the realisation that Ekiti is the home of mountain safari. I have this on my own when I first took a tour of Ofin Mountain – Ado Ekiti and walked the ridges of Efon Alaye – Ido – Ile – Ido Ajinare – Erio, falling in love with the praying ground on top of the hills, the flora and fauna, the panoramic views the birds, and the cluster of the forest. I then decided that this year, Ekiti must hold its first ever mountain safari trek in Easter.”

Peculiar added: “We are kicking off from Ado–Ekiti and head for Iyin Ekiti. It is going to be an interesting adventure which will not only showcase Ekiti State as mountain safari tourism destination, but a State with the best geographical template for mountain for hiking “

Wow! Breathtaking sceneries from Ekiti State. That State should be a major tourism destination.

I visited the Ikogosi Warm Springs for the last time ever in 2001. The chain of rocky and green hills stretching from Ekiti to Osun States (while driving in the car) were incredibly beautiful! wink
