Imran I.★★★★★ — Just been Imran and a student there
Amina I.★★★★★ — It's a cozy environment with lots of ornaments. One word to describe it is "refreshing". I'm giving it three stars because the restaurant is almost dormant, you barely get anything available.
Idris★★★★★ — Poor customer service, their restaurant staffs/waiter are so rude, the waiter that serves us act like she’s giving us the food for free, and there’s one short man in their reception he’s rude and I think he’s the manager, you people should choose wisely before dining here.

Ahmad U.★★★★★ — Shehu of Borno's palace is notable as the home of the traditional ruler of Borno. Reflecting the grandeur and prestigious architecture of the modern Kanuri people, It is located at Shehuri, Sir Kashim Ibrahim Road, Maiduguri
Musa S.★★★★★ — As a northerner this was an eye opening visit to be honest. I had little to no knowledge about the war so this visit was an introduction for me. I got to learn the history, see pictures of the war and its aftermath, I saw so many weapons used by both sides and so much more. I highly recommend visiting if you haven’t.
Bribe was asked of us, I don’t know if they are paid or not but as a staff why must we bribe you for a tour of the place? Plus I think they fuel the generator themselves so I don’t blame them that much. I don’t know why Nigerians are so afraid of cameras. They asked us to drop our digital cameras at the gate but then we were allowed to use our phones outside to snap as for the inside you could pay a little bribe to be allowed to snap in the exhibition area but not deeper inside especially where the Biafran war stuff are.
There are also military personnel there so be careful where you point your cameras.
Thelma A.★★★★★ — National war museum tells a story that has a historical significance, but the place is not well kept by the government to serve as a tourist site. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the gallery due to forgery and will need a letter if you intend to write about anything in the gallery with pictures. The staff who took us around was very knowledgeable and passionate about the story the museum had to tell, you can give a tip at the end of the tour but this is totally optional. The government can do more by making the place more accommodating than it currently is.
Mr M.★★★★★ — "Had an amazing day at Sanda Kiyarimi Zoo Park! The variety of animals and the beautiful landscaping made for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend visiting for a fun family outing!"
Elias D.★★★★★ — Awesome park, it was a thrill to see the many animals —some, my first— the zoo keeps.
I'm not a medic or vet though, but I think the baboons need some medical attention.
Also, that elephant needs the company of other elephants, please! Even if just one other.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thumbs up though, you should definitely visit.
PS: Under the shade of the trees, don't look up! 🦇
Babayo S.★★★★★ — It is a well located with good buildings and well trained staff but power supply is a major concern.
Umarmlawal★★★★★ — The hotel is big and good but when NEPA take light generator will not be put on, you have to go and request for towel, and TVs not functioning
