Bula Tura Oasis, Yobe State

rvp2017:
There is no contest btw Nigeria and Kenya when it come to natural beauty and tourist spots.All I am seeing is rivers and hills in Nigeria.Kenya is incredibly beautiful.From white sandy beaches with some of the best marine parks to plateaus and plains filled with millions of wild game to Africa highest snow capped mountains to the great rift valley with many lakes including second largest fresh water lake in the world and world largest alkaline lake to sandy deserts and all sorts of forests and rivers Kenya is incredibly beautiful..reason millions of tourists spend a fortune to visit and hotels & resorts are plentiful.

Well, Kenya is beautiful and tourism is developed but that doesn't mean Nigeria is not naturally beautiful.

The only difference is Kenya developed theirs while ours are not. Although, Kenya's wild is far better than Nigeria but we have what you don't have. Warm and cold springs, Gorilla Park, blue Lakes and Rivers and culture tourism.

You said only rivers and hills are in Nigeria, no that is not true. The only thing we don't have on your list is millions of wildlife games and snow capped mountain. The rest Nigeria has them in abundance.

Bula Tura Oasis - Yobe State, Nigeria has sandy desert too.

MPSA:
Ok brother, I will check from my list

That will be great! thanks

AfroCircus:
Just my thoughts, at 4 times the population, one would expect Nigeria to have at least 4 cities of Nairobi's status and say 4 of that of Mombasa as a snapshot. One would expect the Nigerian Govt to have a budget 4 times that of Kenya, road infrastructure at least 4 times longer, all these just to reach Kenya's development level. but we all know that's far from the reality.

Of course, we have 3 cities of Nairobi status. Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt.

And we have 4 of Mombasa's status, Calabar, Enugu, Ibadan and Kano even Kaduna. Uyo is coming up fast.

1, yes we do have

2, Tourism in Nigeria centers largely on events, due to the country's ample amount of ethnic groups, but also includes rain forests, savannah, waterfalls, and other natural attractions.

3, States runs their own portals
