Laura L.★★★★★ — Hakeem is a great guide.
He showed me so many more things to see in Nigeria than the big cities and he managed to fit it all in a very short period. Anything I was interested in seeing, he found a way to make it happen. I got to do so many experiences with local people, meeting real people in small villages with so many children, and had great experiences with so many animals. He found and took me to all the places to see animals. We went in and learned so much from local guides he got for me at museums to learn the most, art galleries, churches, mosques and so much more. He knew the best places to go and had all the connections to make everything happen. Like at Itoku market he knew the best Adire textile by Yoruba women to buy clothing so I was able to get everything in 1 place. Saw the artists making batik, and paintings, waxing, the dye. We visited palaces, met the chiefs of the villages. Went to temples. We went to universities and saw the research they are doing for the nature and environment. Went to UNESCO heritage site. Got to relax in nature with the animals and on a noat seeing water birds. Learned how to play the drum with experts and dance and bought a drum. Had dance and masquerade and music performances, got to dance and learn the local traditions and beliefs. And during the whole tour we got so many photos taken for memories.
Pottery village seeing them making, baking the clay and seeing the people that are making the pottery and their families. Went to a weaving village with so many children. Seeing how everyone in the village is involved in so many steps to make such beautiful cloth. Seeing interesting land formations and all the sites in the cities.
If anything happens he is ready to solve everything right away, domestic flights, hotels, ATMs, he has all the information, site tome openings, locations so the tour can run smoothly.
This country Nigeria has everything too see and experience and very good weather. You have to come to Nigeria and get Hakeem to get you around, connecting you to all the local people and showing it all to you.
iyanuoluwa D.★★★★★ — My Adventure Tour To JEBBA;
The Jebba trip was an unforgettable experience filled with learning, exploration, and culture. From the Emir’s palace in ilorin where I captured a designed mosque with golden domes and tall minarets before heading to the historical Jebba Railway Bridge to the serene view of the River Niger, every stop revealed a piece of Nigeria’s rich heritage. Visiting landmarks like the Mungo Park Memorial, the Dam and experiencing the local Nupe culture added depth to the journey.
As a tourism enthusiast and tour guide intern, this trip helped me appreciate the value of preserving history while using modern tools like drones for documentation. It was not only educational but also refreshing, offering great photo opportunities and insight into the potentials of domestic tourism.
I would highly recommend this destination for students, tourists, and history lovers. It was truly a well-guided and enlightening adventure. A great privilege to work with Omotosho Travel and Tour, they are top notch in this field. I commend you for this great work.

Kolapo A.★★★★★ — Emir's palace is place where the emir received visitors and it also has administrative blocks
hammed I.★★★★★ — Is the heartbeat of Ilorin as a city if not the entire Kwara State, is a place of attraction to tourists and indigenous and residents. It situated within Oja Oba, as the name implies, the market is owned by the King, and along side with central masjid of the state which serve as another side of attraction to the public
Idris M.★★★★★ — This place is a very quiet and serene place to dine with nature. The trees and river provides fresh and cool air. The entrance fee is N1000 per person
Eniola B.★★★★★ — I had a great and fun experience here! Their swings and slides and amazing and their arcade is fantastic with a lot of games to choose from.
Mashood A.★★★★★ — Lovely environment. Nice tennis, Lovely swimming pool. And so on
chidinma N.★★★★★ — It's perfect for an outdoor event center. Natural scenery, well-kept environment. If you love nature & want to do outdoor events, it's a pretty chill place & well-maintained. They should get a five-star for this.
There's a small swimming pool by the side as well.
As at today, the lake is not available for seeing (which is the reason I'll be giving them a three star because that's what I really wanted to see). The mini zoo has two crocodiles, one tortoise and some ducks.
Remy L.★★★★★ — The place is nice to take pictures, but don't rely on getting quality service or food. I went 27/07/25. The staff work like they're not happy to be there. I was told the only thing available on their menu was shawarma, when i bought their shawarma for 3k, it was poorly made and had no sausage in it. To make it worse it took soo long for it to be ready. They said the person that knows how to make it was not around. I'm definitely never visiting again.
Durosomo L.★★★★★ — Apparently, the first museum built in Nigeria but it doesn't look it at all, or maybe it does. Poor maintenance culture has the place looking run down. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating, they made the trip worthwhile.
