Find Cheap Flights to Nigeria and Secure Your Next Adventure

December to February is the peak dry season. The weather is cooler due to the Harmattan winds, making it the most comfortable time for sightseeing and festivals.

March to May sees rising temperatures before the heavy rains begin. It is a great time to find Nigeria flight deals before the summer peak.

June to August is the peak of the rainy season. While it is wet, the landscapes are lush and green, and airfare prices can be lower.

September to November marks the end of the rains. The weather stabilizes, and many cultural harvest festivals take place across the southern regions.

Brazilian citizens require a visa to enter Nigeria for tourism or business. You must apply through the Nigerian Embassy or via the official online portal for a Visa on Arrival if eligible. Ensure your passport has at least six months of validity and two blank pages. You will also need a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate, which is strictly checked upon landing. It is wise to carry printed copies of your return flight tickets and hotel reservation to present to immigration officers. Processing times can vary, so start your application at least three weeks before your planned departure to avoid stress. Having these documents ready ensures a faster transition through the airport arrival hall.

In major cities like Lagos and Abuja, ride-hailing apps like Uber and Bolt are the safest and most reliable options for travelers. They provide upfront pricing and tracked routes. For shorter distances, yellow 'danfo' buses are common but can be very crowded and difficult for newcomers to navigate. In Abuja, the roads are wider and less congested compared to the intense traffic of Lagos. If you are traveling between cities, domestic flights are the most efficient choice, as road travel can be slow due to infrastructure conditions. Always agree on a fare before entering a traditional taxi if it does not use a meter. Avoid night travel between states to ensure your personal safety and comfort.

While most Nigerians are incredibly welcoming, it is important to stay alert in crowded areas. Avoid displaying expensive jewelry, large amounts of cash, or high-end electronics in public. Be cautious of 'social engineering' scams where strangers offer unsolicited help at ATMs or airports. Always use official currency exchange bureaus rather than individuals on the street to get the best rates and avoid counterfeit notes. Stick to well-lit, populated areas at night and use trusted transport. If someone approaches you with a deal that seems too good to be true, it likely is. By maintaining a low profile and staying aware of your surroundings, you can enjoy the vibrant energy of the country without unnecessary complications.

Nigerian food is famous for being flavorful and often very spicy. Must-try dishes include Jollof rice, Pounded Yam with Egusi soup, and Suya, which is spicy grilled meat. When dining in a local home, it is polite to wash your hands before the meal, as many traditional dishes are eaten with the fingers of the right hand. Always use your right hand for eating and passing items, as the left hand is traditionally considered unclean. Bottled water is a necessity; avoid tap water and ice cubes in drinks. For a local experience, visit 'Bukkas' or local eateries, but ensure they have high turnover to guarantee freshness. Nigerian Guinness and local palm wine are popular beverages to accompany a hearty evening meal.
