    Very varied, reliable organization, always solution-oriented (big thanks to Nesi!), surprisingly good accommodation, great transport (Toyota Land Cruiser), impressive landscapes, friendly people, great group. I will probably become a regular Penguin customer!

    To begin with the visa issues, I got the details for it too late to get my visa on time. But Penguin sorted it out so I could have a visa on arrival, it was a bit of a stress around all that. But when all that was sorted out the trip was great, the local guides and crew was perfect. Sometimes some things felt a bit rushed. Maybe it would have ben better if the whole trip was a bit longer so there was some time to relax between the long drives. But in all a good trip and I will probably go with penguin again

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      I'm curious to find out what the price would be. Yes I will be travelling alone. It's those dates because it's between two other tour. After I'm planning to go to Chad, and therefore from Abuja. So travel expenses and visa service? I didn't do a lot of research about the visa process. But I'm not able to to go to the Nigerian embassy since I don't live in my home country of Norway.

    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      Only business visa works for Nigeria. It costs around 300$. So we should quote on itinerary for 5 days Lagos- Abuja for 1 person?

    • G

      George

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Sorry for not seeing this response before. Ohh that was much more expensive visa than I expected. What would a private 5 day travel cost approximately?

    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten February 2024

      Private tours are 60-70% more expensive as we have to cover all costs for guide and transportation with only 1 person booked.

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      Is it possible for the accommodations to be upgraded to 5 star where applicable?

    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      Sure hotel upgrades are possible both in Lagos and Abuja. 5-star hotel upgrade for 6 overnights would be approximately 8-850 EUR if we opt for the best ones. The average 5-star hotel would be 6-650 EUR extra

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      Can you tell me the amount pp in usd? Also what the minimum amount of people I need for a new date?

    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      We need a group of 8+ participants. Prices for 5* hotels as follows: 2645 USD for mid-class, 2930 USD for the upper class, per person in TWIN/DBL room*

      Barbara

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      Thanks so much for the quick response! You are awesome!!! Ok so by any chance do you have an example of the standard hotels that come with the tour.

    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      Below you can find hotels from a recent trip, the price is based on standard 3 * hotels. Msquare Hotel GRA, Lagos

    • B

      Barbara

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      Ok I would want to stick with the standard rooms. Can you give me a quote for 7 people counting myself. I would want to have a single room by myself and for my price to be incorporated within the others.

    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      If we stick to the standard hotels the price is 1449 EUR per person + 200 EUR local payment per person based on TWIN sharing while the January promotion is in place. Price for a Single room is 1449+280 EUR per SGL room + 200 EUR local payment. Summary: 6 participants on TWIN/ DBL sharing + 1 SGL Free of charge would be 10423 EUR + 1400 EUR local payment

      Barbara

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      Great! And the total deposit? And this is added to the Oct 24 date correct? If I want a separate date we need 8? I want to see how many people I can get deposits on this date. Thanks!

    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      The deposit required is 30% of the total amount. If you get more people and they are interested in another departure date we can arrange a private tour.

    I've been researching Nigeria. The current climate appears to be politically charged especially with upcoming elections. What is your policy regarding treating unrest with upcoming tours? Note I'm interested in traveling Jan 2023.

      As long as the borders are open we will run the tours. The next group is going there in the end of November. We recommend you to buy a travel insurance to avoid any cancellations on your side if you don't feel comfortable to travel. Please be advised the visa procedure takes at least few weeks.

    Asked on June 22nd, 2022

    Would you be able to provide me with a letter of invitation and hotel booking itinerary for my Nigeria visa?

    Visa
    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten June 2022

      Tourist visa in Nigeria does not work very well. What we did for our last group in February is to issue a business visa. The price was 350 USD but that worked out well and we were the only company to run a trip there in FEB.

    • Penguin TravelOperatorWritten June 2022

      We can offer visa support only for people booked on our trips.
