In a vibrant celebration of Nigeria’s cultural wealth and natural beauty, Farwill Consult officially unveiled its ecotourism initiative with an exciting 3-day experiential road trip to the Ife Grand Resort. Designed to promote local travel, cultural appreciation, and sustainable tourism, the journey brought together adventurers, culture lovers, and nature enthusiasts for a firsthand exploration of southwestern Nigeria’s heritage, cuisine, and landscapes.
Day 1: From Lagos to Ibadan — A Taste of Culture and Cuisine
The journey began on a bright Friday morning as participants gathered in Lagos for what would be a road trip to remember. The first stop was Bower’s Tower in Ibadan — a historical site perched atop a hill, offering panoramic views of the ancient city. Participants took in the scenery and captured memorable photos of the skyline.
Next was the University of Ibadan Zoological Garden, where travelers had a close-up encounter with diverse animal species. Guides shared fascinating insights into animal behavior and conservation, sparking conversations about wildlife protection in Nigeria.
Of course, no trip to Ibadan is complete without a culinary stop. The group headed to the iconic Amala Skye, where they enjoyed steaming plates of amala, ewedu, gbegiri, and assorted meats — a truly satisfying taste of southwestern cuisine.
With bellies full and spirits high, the group continued on to the much-anticipated Ife Grand Resort. On arrival, they were welcomed with a vibrant cultural performance — traditional dancers clad in rich Yoruba attire greeted guests with drums, chants, and joyful energy. The evening concluded with a guided tour of the resort, showcasing its serene environment, natural architecture, and eco-friendly design.
Day 2: Royalty and History in Ile-Ife
Saturday was all about heritage and storytelling. The first destination was the Ooni of Ife’s Palace, a place rich in Yoruba history and tradition. Guests listened to captivating stories of the legendary crown and how it has represented the strength and unity of the Yoruba people for centuries. The palace visit offered a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of Ile-Ife as the cradle of Yoruba civilization.
The tour then made its way to Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), known for its stunning architecture and strong academic legacy. Participants explored the campus, marveled at its structural design, and learned about the university’s origin and contributions to Nigeria’s intellectual development. The day wrapped up with a light hike across one of the scenic hills within the university grounds, offering a moment of connection with nature.
Day 3: Refreshed, Educated, and Homebound
The final day was a reflective journey back to Lagos. Conversations on the bus revolved around the new knowledge gained, cultural pride rediscovered, and friendships formed. The mood was celebratory yet contemplative — proof that travel has the power to inspire and unite.
Promoting Ecotourism for a Better Tomorrow
Speaking at the end of the trip, the CEO of Farwill Consult – Mr Moshood Fatai emphasized the importance of ecotourism in reshaping how Nigerians see their country.
With this impactful launch, Farwill Consult has set a new benchmark in domestic tourism — one that combines learning, leisure, and local pride. This is more than a trip; it’s a movement to explore Nigeria responsibly, proudly, and sustainably.
