Lekki Conservation Centre, Nature reserve in Lekki Peninsula, Lagos, Nigeria.
Lekki Conservation Centre is a nature reserve on the Lekki Peninsula with wetlands and elevated walkways that allow visitors to watch monkeys, crocodiles, and many bird species. The facility has multiple observation platforms and trails that pass through different habitats.
The centre was founded in 1990 to protect wildlife along Nigeria's southwestern coast. It was created through a partnership between the Nigerian Conservation Foundation and Chevron Corporation as a safeguarded area for the region.
The name reflects a commitment to wildlife protection, and visitors come here to observe birds and connect with nature in a direct way. Local people use the site as a place to learn about the animals and plants that live in their region.
The site is located at Kilometer 19 on the Lagos-Epe Expressway and opens daily from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Visitors should wear good walking shoes and bring water, especially during hot weather.
The site has a 401 meter canopy walkway, one of Africa's longest, that takes visitors high above the vegetation. This elevated path offers an unexpected view of the landscape from a completely different perspective.
