my stay there was okay. I must confess cold wanted to kill me. Lol. Obudu Mountain Resort provides accommodation in the form of African round huts and chalets on stilts maximising the breathtaking views. Obudu Mountain Resort also offers self-contained suites varying in size from the 2-bedroomed Governor’s Lodge with its own lounge/dining room and kitchenette to the 20 Mountain... More

You have to see Obudu to understand. If I ever doubted there was a God, no more! The place is amazing. Mountains covered in smooth green carpeting. The rooms were nice. I expected much more though, cos we stayed at the presidential guest villa.The bedroom and bath downstairs is really small, though the kitchen and sitting areas were spacious and... More

The piece of beauty is a must see!!! My husband and I visited back in 2011 for during Christmas time. The weather was AMAZING and it was by far a wonderful experience. We stayed in Calabar for one night and had a driver take us early morning. Its about a 5 hour drive and the roads are HORRIBLE. We stayed... More

We visited with another couple for a long weekend at the end of July. It's not an easy place to get to. We flew from Lagos to Enugu where our driver met us and then drove 5 hours on rough roads to Obudu. It was rainy season and as we got closer to the resort and higher in altitude the... More

Ok, this is not the easiest place to get to but well worth the trip! Several new facilities and improvements are now in place since I was here about 5 yrs ago. The 9 hole golf course was terribly exciting and challenging! The weather is beautiful and can get quite temperate in the evenings and early mornings. You'll notice there... More

This resort is located in a place of outstanding beauty, high in the mountains on the Cameroonian border. As a conference center, it is extremely well-furbished, the type of place one would use to create national plans -- tranquil, serene and definitely worlds away from the fray of Lagos or Abuja. I would happily return with my family or friends.... More
