Planning to tour Nigeria but worried about safety? These are the safest tour agencies to try — including our own IbiFoundry Tour in Taraba State.
Why You Should Trust This Blog (From Simon)
I know how scary travel in Nigeria can feel sometimes.
From fake agents to sudden police stops, many people avoid exploring beautiful places simply because of fear.
I’ve been there too.
Back in 2021, I almost got stranded on a trip from Jalingo to Obudu because the tour company I booked ghosted me halfway.
That’s why I created this list — to help people like you avoid all that.
At IbiFoundry, we don’t just blog about travel—we run our own local tours too. Especially in Taraba. Safely.
Everything here is personal, tested, and researched for Nigerians and even first-time visitors.
