The Badagry Experience: Where History Meets The Ocean
Our adventure takes us to the coastal town of Badagry, where the ocean meets a powerful and emotional history. Known for its role in the transatlantic slave trade, this town holds echoes of the past in its monuments, museums, and historic pathways. As we walk through its streets and along its shores, we uncover the stories, secrets, and memories that make Badagry one of the most historically significant places in West Africa.
We will drive to Paradise Boat Jetty to catch a boat across the Lagos Lagoon to Badagry, the historic coastal slave town. On arrival, we will tour key sites including Vlekete Slave Market, Seriki Williams Abbas' family house, and the Heritage Museum, which tells the story of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The tour ends at the Point of No Return before departing Badagry back to Lagos.
