Stringent visa conditions introduced by the United States of America (USA) and Europe have forced several Nigerians to review their travel destinations and explore African countries this summer.
Some of the destinations Nigerians are exploring include Kenya, Rwanda, Egypt, Morocco, Mauritius and Ghana, amongst others.
These countries offer visa on arrival, e-visas and accept local currencies in their home countries, thereby reducing pressure on scarce foreign exchange currency spending by tourists and holiday makers.
Rwanda is visa-free for Nigerian passport holders for short visits. Under a bilateral agreement, Nigerians can travel to Rwanda without obtaining a visa prior to departure and are granted a free 30-day single-entry visa upon arrival. Known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” Rwanda is celebrated for its wildlife, including gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, and its clean, green cities.
