The Obudu Cattle Ranch located in Obudu local government area, Cross River State, Nigeria is a must-stop for  those who want to get more work done after few days of rest... Climbing up the Mountain is really scary, like a snake the path is twisted....you can use the cable car if your so scared.

Few things i love about the Ranch

1. The temperature: The weather condition here can be compared to that in the states. it's foggy in the morning and the sun gives just the right amount of light.So your skin stays  moisturized, the body hydrated and the mind at peace. Because of this weather, this is one place where apple can be grown in Nigeria.

On the Holy Mountian

2. The Ambiance: Far away from the noise pollution in the city, one gets to enjoy serenity and tranquility. No wonder newly-weds scramble for a room on the mountain for a week of sweet romance and intimacy.
 You'd also find the CEO's, MD's and Manager's up the ranch in a bid to clear their head, look carefully at the business plan and make the right decisions before facing the board members, investors or employees.

3. The Terrain: For religious purposes, there are lot's of quiet spots to meditate and connect with your creator. One of the mountains is called "THE HOLY MOUNTAIN" and it's said that ;every prayer said on it, gets answers! Get up there and set the ball rolling.


4. There's a golf field for sport lovers,Coffee shop, A gift Shop, A honey factory, Nature Reserve park and Water fall.

My suggestions:

•  Travel light, less luggage and more money. Things are more expensive on the ranch and unless your going with your kitchen, you'd eat from the canteen!

African Hut

• Pack Winter-friendly clothes. it's really cold up here so you'll need hand gloves, socks, good shoes or boots, head warmers, thick pants/jeans, sweaters and jackets.

Go with a pack of fun-loving friends

• Take your power bank with you... Your phone battery will always run down, that's because of the temperature.

•  Get a tour guide/Camera to keep you safe and capture moments too.

• Unwind and Have fun.

Unwind and Have Fun!

 The people of Obanliku local government area get to enjoy all of this because the reside on the mountains too.. You'll find children running down  and up mountains with huge smiles and laughter. They old grow sick, complaining about body pains, eye problems, chest &joint pain, headache,fever etc.
We were told mosquitoes can't survive in that environment. My goes out to the elderly ones, with so much diseases and no help for them. Thank God for bodies like "THE G-FACTOR"!

If you ever get an opportunity to get on that ranch, make sure you have fun and soak in the beauty your eye will behold.
