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.

I was at Obudu Mountain Resort recently and had a good time. I saw some foreign people there too. The place still looks very beautiful like Europe despite low domestic patronage . Maybe they need good managers and marketing team, and a good road network connection.
I've come to realize that average Nigerians just don' have the spending power ,and that's why most businesses like Resorts and shopping centers don't thrive too well .

A business thrives when local and foreign consumers combine, It won't thrive if it's only patronized by foreign. Even rich Nigerians prefer to vacation abroad. The Nigerian spending power is too low and needs to be boosted before such places can thrive.

The idea of resorts and national parks like Tinapa, Obudu Mountain resort, Cross river National park, etc. are great, if not for the low spending power of average Nigerian.
For now, it's just a shame.

The super highway is great if only it will not disrupt the wildlife and nature , But I just think Cross River does not have the funds to accomplish a lot since they lost the oil wells to Akwa ibom ,but the Governor is trying his best .

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.

DonMekino:
please what's the estimate of lodging there for few days? am planning on having my honeymoon at this serene place.

This is what happens when you have serious issues with complex.

Yes, to a human being with brain who appreciates nature, it is even prettier than Europe. Not even because of sentiment but from a neutral view point devoid inferiority complex.

This is about nature, not technology.

A human being with a working brain is more comfortable in an environment where he is treated as a human than where he is seen as a gorilla.

But to a human being having issues with complex, even an European poo is more delicious than food in Nigerian eatery. Smh.

gypsey:
This rubbish makes no bloody sense.


speak for yourself mate! we quite happy over here in Miami.

othermen:
Like Europe? Not like the Amazon?

Modified
If anyone is interested in seeing scenic places and landscape, Europe is not the second or third choice. Australia, New Zealand, the South America and even Asia 'are' comparable and comes to mind; Obudu is a deep, and same with Amazon, so you can compare...that is the idea behind this remark. Really interesting that I have been referred to as having inferiority complex for such a simple assertion, question and clarification.

So what's the budget like for two persons to chill there for a week?

Which place is named Miami in Alaigbo?

meobizy:
The place is really beautiful. I spent two days there with a friend and spent ~100K or a little less. The climate is really good and I encourage anyone to follow suit. Any Nigerian can afford this, the problem is we’re not exposed enough mentally. The bad road network to go there, sha, I suffered back aches for four days. From the mountain upwards and down is smooth sailing.

Liesel81:
Firstly Obudu does not look like Europe. It looks like Nigeria with appropriate infrastructure needed to explore such a location. I do however agree with you that somehow we are hoping as Nigerian's that other people will come and visit our locations for us and suddenly they would be hyped and popular. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. The domestic interest and consumption must be established in Country first, especially in the case of Nigeria as we have a lot of issues that make Nigeria less attractive for outsiders. Here is my review of the Ranch I visited last year in December -

These pictures are old pictures during the days of Donald Duke. Currently under Ayade's administration the place is just a shadow of itself. It's look more like Libya now than Europe

ThreeEyedRaven:
The place is truly fine ...but access roads to it for those of us who can't afford a flight to cross River state nko

Apart from lodging, what are the cost to tour there as well as cost to transport to Oburu from calabar

princefrank76:
touring around isn't expensive..! just some little sorting around..
A trip from Calabar to obudu main town is just 3k but u would need to embark on another journey to the ranch. which will cost u around #1,500 to bottom hill, where u can either board the cable car or a bike to the top mountain. it depends on your budget anyway.!
