An absolute humbling experience- I’ve visited similar areas in Rio, Madagascar, Peru, Hong Kong etc but the Makoko community hit particularly deep given the recent injustices they’ve had to endure. I highly recommend making time to visit this beautiful community and using Samap - Samap was responsive from the start and very flexible with the time since I only had a day in Lagos. They ensured I had a great experience and I would use them again in a heartbeat.
A unique and eye-opening experience. Visiting Makoko offered a different perspective on Lagos and its people. The boat ride through the community was very interesting and gave me a deeper understanding of daily life in this remarkable part of the city. Highly recommended.
Thanks for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the tour
I had an amazing tour of Makoko and the entire experience felt very safe, smooth, and perfectly organized from start to finish. A special thank you to the guides — Victoria, Ade, Ben, Respect, and Tobi — for their professionalism, kindness, and for making the visit so insightful and enjoyable. They made us feel comfortable at all times, and their local knowledge truly brought the experience to life. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Lagos and wanting to discover the real spirit of Makoko. Thank you again!

The experience was unique. Though a bit sad they’re starting to tear down parts of the community, it was interesting to see such a unique way of life.

This is one of those must-see sites in Lagos. It was one of the major milestones in the group’s trip through Nigeria. This palaphite neighborhood is a spiking image of poverty for a part of the population. Requires you to go with a local guide.

Mr. Respect is a great leader within community. Safe, interesting and sometimes shocking tour. Short but intense experience. Highly recommend. Greetings!

The tour of Makoko was an excellent and eye-opening experience. It was interesting to see how people have adapted and persevered to create this community. Victoria is an excellent guide who always goes above and beyond to make the experience as meaningful as possible.

Excellent tour. My guide Victoria and driver Michael were superb, very friendly and informative and easy to connect with.
Thanks for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the tour
It's fun to be here, seeing how these people have adapted to this lifestyle. It's very surprising and also feel pity for the kids. It's a slum, rough, untidy and unsanitary. But one keeps wondering how they've managed to make living on this water. You will definitely find it surpilrising and also feel someohow bad for the people living here.
Thanks for your review.
