Bradt Travel Guide Nigeria

Despite negative images of Africa's most populous country, the traveler to Nigeria will meet nothing but kindness and hospitality.

In Nigeria: The Bradt Travel Guide, Lizzie Williams puts the record straight. While pulling no punches about the country's extremes, she encourages the visitor to explore beyond the expat compound and enjoy its single greatest quality - the warm generosity of 140 million people. Inside you will find: *Detailed advice on health and safety *Getting around - from okadas to chauffeur-driven cars *People and culture in depth *Lagos - the mainland and the islands *National parks, wildlife and the environment *Practical information for expats and NGOsWilliams, Lizzie is the author of 'Bradt Travel Guide Nigeria ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781841621241 and ISBN 1841621242.
