Pack the Essentials

by ThirteenMoons

Take light weight hand washables. Good, durable shoes are a must. Take along razors, shaving cream, tooth paste, and even toilet paper. Most of the things that American tourist consider to be essentials can be rather expensive or hard to come by. If your equiptment is battery operated, be sure to carry all the extras you think you will need. Peanut Butter.

Cotton wears

by Toyin

Travel light, because most of your requirements are available at a very cheap rate. Cotton clothes, and sandals are preferable. You can always shop for toiletries on arrival, you may also take preventions against malaria. Ant type of photo equipment would do. For Lagos, Portharcourt and Calaba, you may get good tools and materials for camping and for the beach. Dress light because of the generally hot weather.

There is no special bag to take to Nigeria. Any bag that can comfortably contain your things is Ok. make sure it contains a tag. In Nigeria we have three basic weather: the rainy season, the sunny season and the harmattan season. The harmattan season is always charactrised by dryness of skin and intense cold in the early morning and night. So if you are coming to Nigeria at that period (around Novemebr -March)you got to get enough jackets. If you are coming during rainy season (around April to October) you got to get your umbrella, and raincoats because in some cities like Portharcourt, it can rain for a whole week none stop. but when u are around in the sunny season thats in between the rainy and dry season, you have to get your sun glasses to protect your views. No special just the kind of toiletries and medical kits you use elsewhere, except you must make sure you take malaria...

Packing List

by Guardian624

Bring your things in a hard-sided suitcase, with a lock. Make sure it's got a tag on it. Business suits are normal for most 'business' contact, but bring tropical weight clothes. A good lightweight raincoat is a must. Make sure to start your anti-Malaria medicine before you get here. Be sure to ask before you snap a photo. The police/military can be very agressive if you're taking a photo they think is unauthorized. The tides at local beaches can be deadly. Make sure you have consulted local 'experts' before getting in danger. Visa and travel documents are a must. There is no such thing as an 'Airport Visa' here.

No special just the kind of toiletry and medical kit you use in your own area. You got to be careful because in some places photograph is not allowed. As for the batteries most cities have any type of battery you may need. But if you are going to the rural areas, you got to recharge your digital cameras in the cities as...

No winther cloth needed. Just make sure to take your malaria medication if this is your first trip to equatorial Africa.Yellow fever and other tropical stuff have to be taking care of. To take photos in public is a criminal offence. So, don't get out the airport with your camera filming all over !!You can take pictures making sure no policeman is around. Beach things are mandatory. You will offently be invited to beach and boat cruising.

HARD LUGGAGE WITH GOOD LOCKS unless you are taking a light aircraft on an onward flight. Summer clothing is a must as it is very hot here. COVER UP AT NIGHT TO KEEP MOSQUITOES OFF. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE MALARIA TABLETS. THERE ARE MOSQUITOES THE SIZE OF HELICOPTERS AND THEY LOVED BITING ME. WARNING...!!!! DO NOT TAKE PICTURES AT THE AIRPORT OR OF ANY OFFICIALS, POLICE etc. ONLY DRINK BOTTLED WATER. Dont be intimidated by street sellers, just say no thank you my friend.
