Did you know Nigeria has 7 Natural Wonders all waiting to be explored and appreciated? You could visit:
Ikogosi Spring in Ekiti State - If you were to take a trip to the town of Ikogosi in Ekiti State, you would find a warm spring with a cold spring flowing right by its side. This warm and cold spring running from the same rock formation, needless to say, is a geological wonder. Of course there are several folklores surrounding the origin of the springs but you have to visit to hear them straight from the locals.

Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State - Did you know Mambilla Plateau is home to Chappal Waddi mountain,which is considered the highest point in Nigeria with an average height of about 2,419 metres (7,936 ft) above sea level?
a. Mambilla is a great place to visit because the weather is great, the people are hospitable, and the site is so rich in history, you’ll never get tired of discovering. There are rolling hills, back dropped with exotic flora and fauna, great views from the top, a waterfall, and fresh air. You’ll get to see the famous cave in Mbamnga — Ndumyaji Cave, the rock with a giant foot print of an ancient warrior at Kabri, the rock with a horse foot print at Hienary, the historic site of the ancient blacksmith that existed before the modern one at Killa yang, and a historic rock of the Mbar people that looks like a woman and her daughter. continue after the cut....
Obudu Mountain Resort, Cross River State
Set on a scenic plateau more than 1,500 metres above sea level on the Oshie Ridge of the Sankwala Mountains in the south-east of Nigeria, the Obudu Mountain Resort boasts a number of exciting, rare features together with Africa’s longest cable car ride – 34 cars, each carrying eight people, climbing up through the clouds for four spectacular kilometres. Just 70 km from the border with Cameroon, the cable car stretches from deep tropical rainforests of “bottom hill” to the summit where you’ll find world-class tourist attractions that are popular with vacationers, adventurers and event planners from all around Nigeria and Africa – and beyond. Equally exhilarating is the drive up to the resort – especially the last ten kilometres of winding road with 22 bends, including the famous Devil’s Elbow and its dramatic, stomach-lurching views. Whichever way you arrive, you will find water parks, trekking, a gym, floodlit tennis courts, a squash court and 9-hole golf course, nature trails, canopy walkway, waterfalls, a hotel and eco-tourism huts.
Ogbunike Caves in Anambra State - Located on the outskirts of the town behind the undulating Ogba hills, 10km from Onitsha, are the caves referred to as ‘Ogba Ogbunike’; cocooned in a valley with tropical rain forest and buffered by 20 hectares of lush vegetation.
b. The caves which sit on two levels, the lower of which leads to an underground river, are a network of about ten tunnels, sandstone chambers, and streams each one with its own rich history and traditional stories all narrated by tour guides during visits. Visitors are advised to carry along a torch and light water proof covering. 
Yankari Game Reserve in Bauchi State - I know you know of it, but have you actually ever been there? We often plan things and then just never get around doing it. Don’t let visiting Yankari be one of those things.
a. The park boasts the largest elephant population in West Africa, although spotting them is pretty hard because of the dense vegetation. And if you don’t want to go elephant watching, you can always visit the Wiki Warm Springs, located near the Park Lodge, where baboons and elephants sometimes come down to play as well. If you’re feeling uber adventurous, you can camp out or, if you aren’t so sure, you can lodge at the spring’s hotel
Confluence at Lokoja - Everybody knows the ‘Y’ on the Nigerian coat of arms signifies the confluence at Lokoja where Rivers Niger and Benue meet, but how many have actually been to see it? Granted, the view is much better appreciated aerially, but that shouldn’t deter you. There are several elevated landscapes around the confluence that can easily give you the same amazing view. Lokoja also has other tourist attractions you can see, like Lord Lugard’s former residence for instance
Idanre Hills (“Oke Idanre”), Ondo State
Immortalised by Africa’s only winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Wole Soyinka, in his poetry collectionIdanre and Other Poems, the hills of Idanre are an imposing sight, eclipsing all around them thanks to their stature and might. Located around 24 km from Akure in Ondo State, south-west Nigeria, and providing the nucleus for the Idanre people, the Idanre Hills offer jaw-dropping panoramic views across a beautiful natural landscape that has been the sacred home of the Idanre for almost a millennium. Today the unique indigenous fauna and flora remain gloriously undisturbed by modern life and the hills are the natural habitat of a species of tailless, herbivorous mammal, the hyrax, which lives amongst the grass-tufted rocks and crevices. Five resting posts, designed especially for visitors, are a welcome addition to the steps leading to the peaks where gasp-inducing vistas abound.
