Lufasi Nature Park

Lufasi Nature Park is located at Km 46 on the Lekki-Epe Expressway near Abijo, about 50 km from Lagos Island, a 1-1.5 hour drive by Uber/Bolt or private car, or by danfo bus to the Abijo stop followed by a short walk to the entrance. The park is a private conservation area combining forest trails, a treehouse lookout, a butterfly garden, a small wildlife sanctuary, a lake used for paddle boating, and a zip line adventure course, making it a mix of nature walk and light activity park. A typical visit starts on the forest trails and treehouse in the morning while temperatures are cooler, moves to the butterfly garden and wildlife sanctuary areas around midday, and continues with paddle boating on the lake or the zip line course in the early afternoon. The park has an on-site cafe serving light meals and snacks, making it possible to spend a full day without leaving the grounds. Lufasi is open year-round, but the dry season from November to March keeps the forest trails firmer and easier to walk, while the wetter months between June and September can leave sections of the trail muddy.
