  • Use recent signals

    • Tofunmi A. ★★★★ I only rated this one star because it's the lowest I could give, it's a horrible place with a horrible experience for those unfortunate enough to find themselves there. With no parking space, horrible traffic on an already narrow road, with old men waiting to extort from you money for what sliver of space you find on the side of the road. I would not recommend this place at all, you can find whatever you need elsewhere.
    • Muhammad Z. ★★★★★ This market has variety of categories of things to shop. From wholesale bale clothing to plumbing materials to food stuff and even a trailer park. The market is poorly structured and needs serious attention, modernisation in line with current realities.

    • Elijah O. ★★★★★ Jos is an amazing place with a wonderful ambiance and beautiful weather conditions. I especially like the cold. I am so surprised that it is not violent like people claim it is. You would love it here. However, make sure to come with a thick sweatshirt if you can't endure cold. 😅

    • James O. ★★★★ A good spot to learn about history and culture. There's really no sight to behold at both the zoo and the Museum, but you can definitely go to just 'see things'.
    • Sam O. ★★★★★ A bit run down, but the staff really care. Great Artifacts, 100 steps and quiet garden... big fan

    • Cynnie C. ★★★★★ The visit was a beautiful experience, but the park's infrastructure showed signs of wear, with dilapidated buildings and security that could be improved. Fortunately, a World Bank-funded rehabilitation project is underway, which I hope will not only enhance the facilities but also lead to an increase in animal numbers and better care for them upon completion.
    • Michael E. ★★★★★ It's an old park and not perfectly maintained for commerce, and international tourism. But it serves as an alternative lifestyle to local and international tourists like me who have come all the way to Jos to document history. It is expected that as a national park, it should be better maintained and positioned for international tourism. I sponsored 5 other persons to this tour.

    • Peter B. ★★★★★ The waterfall is definitely worth a stop to admire nature. However the place is littered with trash, bottles and plastic bags. The immediate area is an unofficial truck repair stop. It requires simple maintenance and effort which as of 2023 is not made by Plateau state.
    • PRECIOUS M. ★★★★★ This my second time here and it always refreshing 😍 This time around the tourist that was to give us a brief history about the Asop falls was not on desk 🥹 hopefully next time I will get every detail and pen it here.

    • AKOBI E. ★★★★ HAWAN KIBO is a massive hill some kilometers away from Jos Capital of Plateau State. It's considered the plateau state valley of death and a danger zone. It has some poorly maintained road network, dangerous sharp bends and slopes. you should be extra cautious while going through the routes of Hawan Kibo Hill..
    • Zarafi ★★★★★ It can be risky and deadly especially at night and raining season as traffic can be real bad and the road terrible
