What’s the best time to visit Lekki Conservation centre?
Like all outdoor resorts and parks, the best time to visit Lekki Conservation Centre is during the dry season because it is the best time to fully enjoy the beauty of this relaxation center.
During the rainy season, the ground would get muddy, making it difficult to walk on and the alternative Canopy walk would be slippery due to the rain, so Canopy walks are permanently shut down during the rainy season.
The dry season in Nigeria is between November to March so this are the best time to visit the Lekki Conservation Center.
