Hotels in Ogun, Nigeria
Ogun State in southwestern Nigeria is famous for its rich industrial heritage and vibrant cultural festivals, with a tropical climate that stays warm year-round (averaging 77°F to 90°F, or 25°C to 32°C). During the dry season from November to March, you can explore the Olumo Rock in Abeokuta-a massive granite outcrop with caves used during inter-tribal wars in the 19th century-while the rainy season from April to October is perfect for visiting the bustling markets of the ancient city of Ifo to buy locally-made adire (tie-dye) fabric. For live music, don't miss the annual Ojude Oba festival in Ijebu-Ode during June, where you can hear traditional Yoruba Fuji music and watch spectacular horse parades.
