What to pack for Nigeria?

Besides bringing your passport and vaccination card (you need to be vaccinated against yellow fever and we hope you are vaccinated against covid-19 as well), you also should bring the following (but not limited to) if you plan to go into the forest:

– DEET or another mosquito repellent

– A small stack of medication
– A mosquito net
– Good walking shoes that can get wet and easily dry
– Enough socks if you need to walk
– A light rain jacket
– A hat against the sun
– Sun screen
– Enough snacks and water
– A torch
– Swimwear and light towels
– A sleeping bag
– A good dose of humour and patience!

Electricity sockets for Nigeria

You might need a travel adaptor for Nigeria, which is a device that simply allows you to plug your things into a foreign electrical socket. This does not convert the voltage or frequency.

For Nigeria there are two plug types, types D and G. Plug type D is the plug which has three round pins in a triangular pattern and plug type G is the plug which has three rectangular pins in a triangular pattern. Nigeria operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz.
