The Lekki Urban Forest and Animal Sanctuary Initiative (LUFASI) sitting on 20 hectares of land at the Majek area along the Lekki-Epe expressway a little after the Lagos Business School is an urban forest created for people to interact with nature.
The gate fee is 1,000 Naira for adults and 500 Naira for children, and it’s open every day of the week. It is home to such endangered forest species like the “Iron Wood” tree (Lophira Alata), the Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes Monachus) and the African Pied Hornbill (Tockus fasciatus).
It is a great fun place in Lekki with a lot of facilities, including a children’s playground, football and volleyball games. You also get to have a good view of the artificial lakes. You can decide to bird-watch, do some aerobics and appreciate nature. It’s a great spot for a picnic and get-together, and you are allowed to bring in your food and drinks.
