Quick answers
What first-time visitors ask me
Straight answers, no fluff. More on the FAQ page.
How much does a private tour of West Africa cost?
Tours start from $975 per person for the 4-day Abuja tour. Multi-country trips start from $1,054 for 3 days and $2,450 for 9 days across Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana, and a 13-day five-country tour starts from $4,950. Flights, visas, insurance, lunch, dinner and tips are not included. Message Confidence on WhatsApp for a quote for your group.
Can you plan a trip for first-time visitors to West Africa?
Yes, first-time visitors are a specialty. Confidence has guided travelers from more than 40 countries and personally hosts each trip from arrival to departure. Message him your dates and interests for a tailored plan.
Is Lagos safe for tourists?
Lagos can be visited safely, but it is a large, fast-moving city and official advisories for Nigeria are cautious, so read your own government's current advice first. Most visitor problems are petty theft and traffic. Pre-arranged transport, avoiding night travel and going with a local guide reduce the risks a lot.
How do I book a tour?
Message Confidence on WhatsApp or use the contact form with your dates, group size and what you want to see. You will get a tailored plan and a quote, usually within 24 hours. A deposit secures your travel date and the balance is due before departure; ask for the details when you get your quote.
Can I combine Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana in one trip?
Yes. The 9-day private tour covers Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana, and your guide crosses every border with you, so there is no handoff to a new operator. A shorter 3-day version and a 13-day five-country tour that adds Côte d'Ivoire are also available.
Do I need a guide to visit Nigeria or West Africa?
You do not strictly need one, but most first-time visitors find a local guide makes the trip easier and safer. A guide handles transport and timing around traffic, tells you where to go and when, and opens access to places and people that are hard to reach alone.
