They better change the name of that place from "cattle" ranch to just "resorts" otherwise, they will wake up one day and see a thousand herd of Fulani cattle at their gates walking majestically to their new home. |

Ekugbeh:it depends. They have local lodging which is owned by the locals there. It's manageable though for a cheap price ranging from 5k as at then though to like 10k. Maybe there'll slight changes now I don't know but if you want the one from the cattle ranch it self, that one is kind of expensive. They have different categories from African hut to presidential suits but the African hut is the cheapest which goes for 25k per night. Though it's been long sha there must have been changes I guess. There's accommodation for 65k,150k and the president suit as of then was 350k per night depending on your pocket. |

Malawian:There are thousands of cattle there already owned by private individuals and milk factories.. Very healthy cattle. There was a yogurt factory there before in the ranch but its no more in existence. 1 Like |

100Caliber: Nice write up, but I disagree with your statement that a business like resort thrives only when patronized by both local and foreign consumers..it won’t thrive when it is only patronized by foreigner. Without a doubt, a business may be more profitable When Patronized by local and foreign consumers, But business can also do extremely well when the main Focus Is on foreign consumers: for Example 99% of the resorts in Mexico only focus and depend on foreigners. Obudu Mountain Will do much better if it is setup well to attract or entice foreigners. Foreign consumers are more reliable and spend more money with very little hesitation. A resort that is setup to attract local consumers will fail...Attracting foreigners is the main key to a successful resort business...Forget the locals. |

I feel d marketing team of d resort like all other resorts in Nigeria are not doing enough to attract customers to dia resorts. Most of d guys coming there came through word of mouth advertising. No where have I seen packages encouraging people to come to obudu on d internet or else where. D marketing team needs to improve and maybe, d management of d resort. U can't have such beauties and dont have patronage. 2 Likes |

donbachi: At least you wont have Fulani terrorists herdsmen ambushing you along the way to the place, in Dubai. You guys dont look at the whole picture. How can anyone plan to travel to such place, when you dont know when kidnappers will snatch you on the way or in the place and kill your family after collecting ransom? If these "bandits" (according to Buhari) can be killing and kidnapping military officers on the highway, now tell me what chance a Civilians has, to go on the road to visit such place. Security first, Electric ity/Power Second, then all other things will follow |

zomby: See, l have bene planing to go to this Obudu resort for about three years now, with my whole family but each time l appraise the RISK of TRAVELLING ON THE ROAD TO GET TO THAT PLACE, l conclude that the enjoyment is not worth the risk! The DANGER of Kidnappers and Terorrist Fulani Herdsmen is what is driving Visitors away from that place and toursim in Nigeria in general. 1 Like |

If the poster have been recently why use stock photos? I have been there. The place is beautiful but dying a slow death. It looks nothing like the photos. And the cable car was not in service when I was there. The biggest problem for the ranch is accessibllity. Easier to travel from Enugu as it's just over 4 hours. Then a taxi from obudu town to the village at the foot of the hills. From there it's another taxi to the ranch. A tiring journey but we'll worth the visit. No electricity during day, cellular service is limited, very cold at night but rooms have heating. Not much to do but to enjoy nature. There are guides at the resort that provide guided tours for a few in keke Napa. 2 Likes |

100Caliber: I disagree, truth is that low patronage at that resort could be that we would rather splash our money visiting Dubai, Europe, America . . . so we can tell people that we "have arrived," and post pictures of these foreign visits on social media . Another reason could be that people tend to spend their free time visiting family in the village than to go to resort places. 1 Like |

othermen: I'm on your side. And I note your use of civilised language unlike the guy down there yammering about working brain. He's always known to run amok all over every Nairaland topic cussing out vulgarities. I mean the guy called "Simp"Leo. Just note the weight of my support. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

The weather at Obudu Mountain Resort right now is 13 degrees Celsius. The Obudu mountains is the only place it snows in Nigeria. Oban Hills close to Calabar gets as low 15 degrees . those are the coldest places in Cross River and one of the coldest in Nigeria . Jos Plataeu state and Mambila Hills in Taraba get quite cold too.

The problem is the host state lacks the strategy to drag traffic to that place. During holiday season what does the state do to attract customers. How do they attract foreigners. Do they have any package for the family and do they have any transportation system from airport to the ranch. So many things the state government need to put in place to make it vibrant. My thinking is that private investors need to come into the whole arrangement and make vibrant. Biannual musical festivals need to be happening their that will be televised like Sun city festival. Corporates needs to be given incentives to hold their AGM in the ranch. Of course govt needs to help by ensuring that officials on duty cannot go abroad but utilize our local resort. Most importantly is securing the nation. 1 Like |
