Treasures magazine in conjunction with a facebook tourism group called NIGERIAN HOSPITALITY & TOURISM GROUP are set to organised a weekend adventure thrill titled Tour the Nation season II. According to the organisers of the trip,it promisies to be fun filled and educative following the success of the first version organized in early December 2010. The trip comes up on the 8th of February, 2011 with a take off point in abuja.The Obudu Mountain Resort (Formerly Obudu Cattle Ranch) offers the leisure seeker and the conference goer a complete contrast. Not only in its temperate climate but also it’s exciting and different location.
Nestling at the top of the mountain the Obudu Cattle Ranch is situated on a plateau at 1576 metres above sea level on the Oshie Ridge of the Sankwala Mountains. The temperate climate offers a total contrast and welcome respite from Africa’s tropical heat. Idyllic tranquillity, beautiful scenery and breathtaking views make it ideal for the lone adventurer, families on reunion, young couple or holiday group.
The tours to view the magnificent scenery and spectacular birdlife are a must for the visitor to this part of the world and these tours can be taken on foot or on bicycle. For those who forgot to pack binoculars, the Canopy Walkway which is situated in the trees allows visitors thrilling close-ups of the birds in their natural habitat high above the ground.
A major talking point for guests is Africa’s longest cable car system. At 4 kilometres, Obudu Cattle Ranch’s cable car gently transfers guests (and their bags) from the tropical climate at the base of the mountain right to the hotel’s reception area on the mountainside which is often in the clouds and is accompanied by an invigorating drop in temperature. It is claimed to be one of the longest cable car facilities in the world.
