Makoko Floating Slum An Authentic Experience with Son of Chief

Makolo Community - Lagos

This was a highlight that every visitor to Nigeria should experience. The Makolo community are a mostly happy half a million people with up to 2-300,000 living on the water. My guide was Respect son of Chief- his father....he was a very friendly happy but serious young man keen to show the somewhat onerous conditions that people in community live under. I met his father, a wise chief and his mum who is not too well....lovely people. I al a met his brothers and more particularly, the older brother, Benjamin, who runs a school for mostly orphan young children with very limited resources. They are also trying to raise funds for a new medical centre in the community. The whole trip/tour was a heart felt experience I will not forget. We walked through the community areas and then went on a boat ride among those on the water......I would like to do something concrete and positive for this community in the future....maybe resources for the children and the school or source some funding for the health centre......It is an eye opening experience, but highly recommended. Thank you Respect for giving me the insight and experience with your lovely community....

Explore Makoko With Confidence

Fantastic

I had the opportunity to visit the Makoko Floating Slum with the guidance of Confidence and Victor. Through the tour, I was able to experience the unique culture of Makoko firsthand and gain a deeper understanding of its history and way of life. If you're interested in visiting Makoko, I highly recommend checking out U Come Afrik. It was an eye-opening and memorable experience.

Highly recommend!

Had a fantastic trip with Confidence. He is well organised, knowledgable about the area, and knows how to make the trip run smoothly. The borders and visas were easy with him which made the trip stress free. I would highly recommend this company. A great way to see West Africa!
