Lekki Conservation Centre
This 78-hectare nature reserve in the Lekki area of Lagos serves as a protected area for local flora and fauna.

Getting There
The reserve is located in the Lekki peninsula. From the Lagos city centre, the most common way to reach the site is by car or ride-sharing service. Travel time varies significantly depending on traffic conditions, which are often heavy in this part of the city, but typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes.
