About Lekki Conservation Centre

Lekki Conservation Centre
 

Lekki Conservation Centre is one of the most popular wildlife parks and nature reserves in Nigeria. Located in Lagos and managed by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), this 78-hectare reserve provides an important sanctuary for various species in the urbanized region of Lekki Peninsula. It was established in 1990 to serve as a model for the preservation of unique biodiversity and environmental conservation. The reserve is acclaimed for its extensive boardwalk that leads through swamplands to a tree house providing panoramic views of the surroundings. The main highlight is the canopy walkway, the longest in Africa, offering a thrilling experience with a bird's-eye view of the forest. Visitors have the opportunity to see a range of wildlife including monkeys, crocodiles, snakes, and rare bird species in their natural habitat. Educational programs and guided tours help raise awareness of conservation needs and ecological significance, making it an essential attraction for both leisure and learning.
