Nigerians Turning to Hidden African Travel Gems, Leben Travels Reports
LAGOS, Nigeria (Oct. 13, 2025) — More Nigerians are exploring Africa’s hidden travel treasures as the continent’s tourism industry continues to grow. According to Leben Travels and Tours, a Lagos-based travel and visa agency, destinations such as Rwanda, South Africa, Seychelles, Tanzania and Kenya are fast becoming top choices among Nigerian travelers seeking adventure, luxury and culture closer to home.
The company said interest in intra-African travel has surged in the past year, driven by easier visa processes, rising airfare costs to Europe and the Middle East, and a growing appreciation for Africa’s diverse attractions.
“We’ve seen a sharp increase in travel inquiries within Africa,” said Leroy Egega, CEO of Leben Travels and Tours. “Nigerians are realizing that the continent has everything they look for abroad — from luxury beaches to mountain adventures — without the long visa wait times or high travel costs.”
Rwanda: The Land of a Thousand Hills
Rwanda has become one of Africa’s most admired destinations, celebrated for its cleanliness, safety and natural beauty. Visitors are drawn to Kigali’s vibrant culture, the gorilla trekking experience in Volcanoes National Park and the tranquil waters of Lake Kivu. Leben Travels said it partners with local tour operators to simplify travel arrangements, including hotel bookings and guided city tours.
South Africa: A Blend of Culture and Adventure
South Africa remains one of the most dynamic destinations on the continent. Nigerian travelers are especially drawn to Cape Town’s scenic Table Mountain, Johannesburg’s nightlife and Kruger National Park’s safari experience. Leben Travels offers packages covering visa assistance, transportation and guided excursions to help visitors enjoy the country’s diverse offerings.
Seychelles: Africa’s Island Paradise
With its turquoise waters and pristine beaches, Seychelles has become a favorite for honeymooners and luxury travelers. Leben Travels provides visa-on-arrival support, discounted flight packages and tailored itineraries to make visiting the island seamless and affordable. “Seychelles offers a world-class experience just a few hours from Lagos,” Leroy Egega said.
Tanzania: Nature and Adventure Combined
Tanzania is attracting travelers eager to experience the Serengeti’s wildlife, Zanzibar’s beaches and the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Leben Travels’ new group safari packages and beach holiday deals have helped more Nigerians explore the East African country at competitive prices.
Kenya: The Beating Heart of East Africa
Kenya continues to captivate tourists with its balance of modern city life and traditional safari culture. Nairobi’s bustling streets, the Maasai Mara National Reserve and Diani Beach remain top attractions. Leben Travels supports travelers with e-visa processing, local flights and comprehensive tour planning.
Leroy said the company’s goal is to make African travel more accessible while promoting regional tourism growth.
“Africa is emerging as a global travel powerhouse,” he said. “We’re proud to help Nigerians see more of it — from its cities to its safaris and beaches.”
