This is one of the places very few people talk about. This park is a beautiful place for you to disconnect from the realities of life. They have lodging available and in this area, it is a dead zone as there is no network, You are then forced to be one with nature. If you are lucky, you will site some monkeys. The park has a lot of plants with medicinal qualities as well. There is a nature trail for an early morning walk to clear your lungs and a stream not too far away to relax in. According to the rangers and park officials, this is one of the 25 biodiverse hotspots in the world. The medicinal properties of the plants found here are amazing. You're one with nature when you come here and the experience cannot be bought! Rooms are available for rent as well as hostel like accommodations

Well, the part of the cross river national park I went to wasn't so much fun as I'm seeing on some people's reviews. I'm a pharmacy student currently and 7 months ago, it was part of our curriculum to visit the national park (department of pharmacognosy and natural medicine). We went to the park at akamkpa where we were first introduced to a kind of lab were some skeletons and skins of animals were preserved, although the place was kind of small. We didn't really have a good shade outside so we all stayed under the sun while the tour guide briefed us about the place with history which I can't recall any part of. Then we set out into the forest, like inside the park. We walked, climbed, dodged some funny-looking plants, crossed streams and saw a cave. Maybe we toured the forest area because that's what our course entails but we were just passing through the forest while the tour guide gave us details about some plants in there. Mentioning their botanical names and their uses. Funnily enough, some of them were said to be potent enough to cure a lot of diseases people are finding it difficult to cure. We all wondered why research hasn't been carried out with those plants but then again, this is Nigeria where a lot of things are not taken into good consideration, research being one of those things, sadly. We didn't find a good place to pee at the end. I wish we had more fun.

Its a good place to Savoy nature. A lot can be done to pull in revenue and make the place more attractive. There are a wide variety of birds, reptiles and primates. Tons and tons of wild trees. Overall its a beautiful sight. If you are not a nature loving person, you may just find the Cross River National Park boring. The connecting road leading here need some work. There is a small fee for entrance.

Cross River National Park Created in 1991 the Oban Division of Cross River National Park covers an area of around 3,000km² of lowland rainforest– the largest area of closed-canopy rainforest in Nigeria and contiguous with Korup National Park in Cameroon.  Oban is an important watershed with hills rising above 500 m and one peak reaching approximately 1,000 m.  The Oban Hills once formed part of one of the lowland rainforest refugia during the last glacial period and is an internationally recognized biodiversity hotspot and center of species richness and endemism particularly for primates, amphibians, butterflies, fish and small mammals.  Oban contains a number of rare species such as the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee Pan troglodytes ellioti, the drill Mandrillus leucophaeus, leopard Panthera pardus, forest elephant Loxodonta cyclotis, the grey-necked rockfowl Picathartes oreas and the slender-snouted crocodile Mecistops cataphractus.  Oban is the only site in Nigeria where the Preuss’s red colobus monkey Procolobus preussi and the crowned guenon Cercopithecus pogonias can be found.  The contiguous Oban-Korup forest is reputed to be the richest site in the whole of Africa for butterflies.  Oban is also one of the richest and most ornithologically diverse sites in the country.

The Cross River national Park is not a place to visit. It is a home to stay alive and well, with nature to keep you company. A Rainforest with nature's heart 💚

It’s beautiful….nice ambiance

It's a place to be, the climbing experience, the weather at the top etc

Good adventure, wide range of food and knowledge to acquire.... #TravelPhotography #NatureLover

Fair to moderately afforested areas. Zero public power supply, poor access roads with trunk C type road access. Rain forest type vegetations.

This is the only thing left for Obudu Mount Resort, Eco tourism. I so much enjoy the scenery and the tour.

Good place to view wildlife, learn about animals and their surroundings, learn how to preserve the environment and animal species and good nature of life. National Park is also a place to educate locals and officers on new trends and how to keep endangered species.

There is something special about this park. Was completely relaxing for me. The air is out of this world. You can try it out in your next vacation you know?😘

No network, people speak Ejagam language and the people are hospitable. They are rich in Palm fruit productions.

Cross River National Park is located between Latitude 5o 05’ and 6o 29’ N, and Longitudes 8o 15’ and 9o 30’ E, in the extreme south-eastern corner of Nigeria, in Cross River State. It covers a total area of about 4000sq km of mainly primary moist tropical rainforest ecosystem in the North and central parts, and montane mosaic vegetation on the Obudu Plateau. It is Nigeria’s last Great Rainforest Reserve, and the closest to the Mangrove Swamps on the coastal region. Cross River National Park is an integral part of the Cross River State rainforest conservation area, located in Boki LGA and spans from Kanyan to the foot of the Obudu plateau with a total land area of 720sqkm of rugged mountain scenery and rolling hills. The park is divided into two sections. The smaller area to the north-east, Okwangwo Division, is separated by about 50 km of disturbed forest from the larger Oban Division. Oban Division is contiguous with Korup National Park in Cameroon. The Cross river and its tributaries drain northern parts of Oban Division, while southern parts are drained by the Calabar, Kwa and Korup rivers.The terrain is rough and elevation rises from the river valleys to over 1,000 m in mountainous areas. Soils are ferralitic and sandy, and steadily become shallower with increasing elevation. Cross River National Park is one of the richest areas of tropical rainforest in West Africa. Currently, the WWF, the Nigerian Conservation Foundation and the Federal Parks Service are carrying out an integrated conservation and development project in the northern part of the park.

Very cold and wet at this time but still a good place to visit for a retreat.

It is the best place to go for you holiday or site seeing has lot of fun place to walk around and a little museum where animals are kept like the monkeys an more

The wild life preserved, within the park

It was thrilling and awesome. The place is well organised with a natural view to gaze.

I love this place. It's a nice tourist center. Come and feel real nature. Experience National geographic big time.

I had a wonderful experience here. Nature is truly beautiful and I was with the best group ever!!❤❤

Wonderful place. We had lots of fun.

A trip in the Cross River National park will not only bring you closer to nature, it brings peace to a troubled mind and stokes the fire of conservation as well as effective management of our bio nature

This park is a remarkable natural treasure to anyone who visits it. It captured my heart with its rich biodiversity wilderness. Amazing park with indigenous culture and nature. I would love to be there again.

Beautiful place with all the peace needed but not well managed or utilized.

One of the coolest place to be, enjoy the beauty of nature and d wonders of God's creation

Longest journey so far in my history from ADAMAWA to portharcourt

Brilliant can't compare to any other park in Nigeria except for some parks in Kenya which are as beautiful as that

It's very impressive, a place for rest and enjoyment, unexpected things that make you surprised

Best place ever to be. Most serene, cool, beautiful and peaceful. Enjoy the beauty of nature by visiting. You won't regret the experience.

So love with the atmosphere and the environment, it's very breath taking

beautiful park in obudu cross river state, make sure you wear safety clothes cos the weather is always different from normal

Everything about nature it's been conserved for a better future, so that our natural environment won't go extinct. And for scientific, historical, medicinal, etc purposes.

I enjoyed the visit in Cross River state. The governor has brought a lot of development to his immediate community, even for the next 50 years his people will be enjoying.

Cross River national park is a great place to visit, the views are beautiful and natural with animals water fall to make your visit entertaining.

When you are there you are closer to nature

This is a great site. It is a master stroke. Carefully selected by the Cross River State Government. The place house monkeys, urangotangs, chipanzees, etc. We have forest guards and rangers that watch over the site against potchers and hunters. Provision is made for tourists who wish to visit the site and there is a hanging rope bridge across the forest for people to climb into it to see the different monkeys on the trees. The place is big. It cut across hills and valleys, hence the hanging rope bridge. I want to thank the Buachor Community in Boki Local Government Area for their corporation with Cross River State Government for maintaining this site without encroachment.

Awesome experience! Ideal spot for a perfect getaway!

It was awesome only for immigration officers at one of the checkpoints on my way back to Abuja who harassed me for showing them my driver's licence instead of national ID as a means of identity. Please immigration officers need to be schooled that as a Nigerian, Driver licence, voters card or national ID can be used as a means of identity. Thanks
