Lufasi Nature park, although I feel it's not well known maybe it's just me.
Lufasi Nature park is a nature reserve built to preserve wild life from extinction as a result of Lekki peninsula development.
LUFASI is the Acronym for Lekki Urban Forestry and Animal Shelter Initiative. The park started in 2013 as a Non-Government Organisation (NGO) with the sole responsibility of preserving nature and protecting wildlife and endangered species
It is a combination of a conservation centre, recreational centre and animal shelter.
LUFASI park has become one of the popular tourist attractions in Lekki and Lagos in general .
So, lufasi has been on my bucket list for so long and finally I get to explore it sometimes last week, of course not alone , you know I don't travel alone. My partner this time was Wemimo, a fellow travel enthusiast & trip planner.
First disclaimer
Just so you know, Lufasi nature park is located in Ajah and it's quite far, I use to have it in mind that it wasn't far from LCC since they are on the same axis but i was in a for a surprise.

The park is actually easy to locate and also google map & lara.ng to the rescue should you get confused at any point.
