Top travel locations to visit in Lagos with short let apartments options? Thinking about taking your nightlife escapades to the next level? Then think Fela Shrine a.k.a The New Afrika Shrine. From the genre of music to the inspirational story-telling lyrics, not forgetting the sacrosanct palm-wine, get ready to get a political education, a lesson in ‘shakin-it’ and a contact high! The New Afrika Shrine is an open-air entertainment centre located in Ikeja, Lagos State. It serves as the host location of the annual Felabration music festival. Currently managed by Femi Kuti and Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti, it is the replacement of the old Afrika Shrine created in 1970 by Fela Kuti until it was burnt down in 1977. The New Afrika Shrine showcases photo galleries of Fela and musical performances by Femi Kuti and Seun Kuti, thus making it a tourist attraction.

It’s possible to arrange various water-based activities through local providers in Lagos. Look into Kayak Lagos, Optimel Water Sports and Lagos Fishing Charters, which offers sport fishing charters in the Gulf of Guinea. Another appealing way to enjoy an action-packed day on the beach is to arrange the “daycation” package at La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort. It gives you access to a private beach, swimming pools and a mangrove forest where you can spot monkeys and tropical birds. Available activities include family boat cruises, jet ski and kayak rentals, fishing in the lagoon and horseback riding.

This open-air entertainment center serves as a next generation of the old Afrika Shrine built by the famous artist cum political activist Fela Kuta in 1970. It showcases some of Fela’s artwork and also serves as a sort of community center. Visit during the day and you’re sure to be greeted by many friendly and chatty locals eager to show you around. Or do like Emmanuel Macron did and come at night during one of the Shrine’s weekend concert events, which are sure to offer you a crazy night out in Lagos. For a real treat, visit Lagos during the annual Felabration festival and feel the Shrine pulse with Afrobeats. It’s located in Ikeja, which means a long drive if you’re staying in the islands, but it’s well worth it (and can be easily combined with the nearby Kalakuta Republic Museum). In my opinion, it’s one of the most fun things to do in Lagos Nigeria! Explore a few more details at Shorts stays in Lagos Nigeria.
