OBUDU MOUNTAIN RESORT, Obanliku, Cross River State, NIGERIA

The Obudu Marathon is steadily gaining some popularity in the world of athletics, probably because of the huge price money attached to it, but the ranch that bears the same name could be one of Nigeria's best kept secrets. 
With rolling evergreen hills that can provide fantastic views from cable cars that transport visitors from the bottom of the hill to the top, Obodu Ranch offers many attractions. There is horseback riding, a mountain walk, bird watching, swimming in a natural pool, a water park, a nature conservatory, a forest bridge crossing (canopy walkway) that makes you think you are in Jurassic Park, plenty of farm fresh yoghurt, and roads with peculiarly named sections (try "devil's elbow" for instance).

Its remote location helps maintain the serenity many people desire from true get-aways. Please do remember to come along with warm clothings as the temperature can be low sometimes below 10 degrees centigrade especially during the rainy season i.e. June to September.
