I have a bit of wanderlust which I still hope to feed someday when I don’t have so much family and monetary restriction, so I’m always drawn to people who actively explore and feed theirs.
Chiamaka of socialprefect blog is one of such people. I came across her blog sometime late last year and discovered that she also organizes ‘tours’. I had planned to go for her tarkwa bay and badagry tour but somehow it didn’t fall through (a.k.a I chose the hermit lifestyle instead). When I saw that she was organizing another tour – this time of the lekki conservation centre, I decided to sign up and stop being a hermit.
I’ve been to the lekki conservation centre twice already (wrote about my first time experience here) and I signed up majorly because I thought it will be fun being with and meeting new people. The meeting new people part didn’t really happen as I thought It would though, I wish there was an initial introduce yourself activity to help (or maybe there was and I just missed it).
Tosin of Olorisupergirl showed up with her little sister and I spent the rest of the tour coupled with them and my friend that came along with me.
My highlight of the tour was the canopy walkway. I almost didn’t go through with it but Tosin’s sister didn’t meet up to the age limit, and I went in her place instead. That walkway was fun and scary mixed together but more of scary! It has six different height levels , each one higher than the other till the fifth level or so where it gradually slopes downwards to the end point.
It got to a point where I was hugging the ropes and practically crouching. Lol! but I made it through. I’m never getting on it again though – that one time experience is enough for me.
I’ll suggest it to anyone, I think it’s something you should try out at least once.
Have you been to LCC recently or gone on the canopy walkway?
What was your experience like?
Also, what’s the most adventurous thing you’ve done?!
I’m wearing basically the same outfit as in this post but with a different waistcoat (check out my waist coat style inspiration post here) and different accessories.
I didn’t get up to much on sunday, I basically stayed indoors lazying around so there’s no gist from sunday.
How did your sunday/ weekend go?
What did you get up to?
Shareeeee!
P.S
I have just three Blog planners left for this second batch so if you’ve been procrastinating getting one, you should just hit me up NOW! sandyva06@yahoo.com and check out some of the blog planner reviews here as well.
Lol! I was at LCC on Saturday too… I noticed the "I didn't make friends" part, and I agree with you on the "introduce yourself" idea. The canopy walk was the highlight of the tour. Can't wait for another as it would be a good reason for me to go out �� I sent you a DM on IG, please reply. Thanks.
Oh you were there? Aww!
Alright, I'll check it out now
Yaay. Thanks for coming dear. I loved meeting you. Don't worry, I owe you proper team bonding activities and new friends made in upcoming tours. Love from social prefect. P.S you owe me a goodbye, Lol.
Was nice meeting you too! Even though I was doing face like chewing gum at first. Lool
My friend thinks you have a good voice for radio and voice overs
Aww really? Nice, I'm available for bookings biko
Hahaha face like chewing gum
That canopy walkway?
Ehn Ehn. I will just faint! Looks like fun though.

Loool! How naaa?!
You won't faint, you'll probably just be scared but there's no going back when you get in so you'll have to keep going.
Your pictures are now so clean loveeeeeee. Well my weekend involved washing, sleeping and travelling back to school.

I know right?! Thanks to my new lens ^_^
I really need to visit this LCC! Hiting you now for the planner
Yaayyyyy!! Awaiting it!
LCC is the truth.I haven't been there lately.Did you see the ancient tortoise? The place is just beautiful to think that such a place is in the middle of town is awesome. Shared my experience http://jeenager.com/doro-explorer-my-experience-at-the-lekki-conservation-centre/
Isn't nature just such a beauty? Cassie, you are tall. Good lawwwd!!! It took your standing next to the cutie to realize that. It looks fun. To think I just had visited somewhere like this in ilorin…walkway and stuff. Post soon.
I love what you're wearing!
I should do the canopy walk before I leave!

I don't think I would have done the walkway thing.. It sounds scary and I'm not tough. Looks like you had a lot of fun though.
Seeing you on the canopy thing reminded me of when I almost fell of a bridge,but I wud like to see the animals there.Did u see a lion?
awww…I can relate to the experiences where once is enough����
My most adventurous??? I thought it was the parachute jump but I think it'd definitely be the roller coaster ride in Donetsk(before it became a war torn zone)It was the "ok" kind of scary the first time, just some screaming and clutching plus hearts in the mouth. The 2nd time!!! Maybe the speed was increased or something. It was all that in an increased measure plus, I thought I actually broke my neck. That was my "Never again"
Well Kudos to you Cassie, coz if I'd seen that canopy walkway I'd have been like 'Girl, Bye!!' (: and how gorgeous is that peacock…..perhaps the next time I'm in Lagos I should go exploring, but 'I dont do nature' erm…ps I loooove those green glasses of yours, I'm really into coloured frames at the moment!
Ps the guy in your photo looks like Anthony from STV, is that him?
The only time I visited LCC, I did not even know there was a canopy walkway. I'm definitely gonna do it when next I take my lazy ass up there, I like scary stuff even if I'd scream my life out LOL.

Too Soon To Say I Love You?
Aww, tours are fun. Will like to go on the next one. Well, many weekend was fun… Went home to see my fam, lots of food and hill climbing.
Your pictures are now clearer and sharper 🙂
I've never been to LCC but I don't think I'll get on that canopy thing when I do. Ha! My fear of heights…
If you saw a hysterical girl on Saturday, that was most likely my sister 😂
I've never visited LCC, but the scenery looks breathtaking. I'll definitely visit it, although I doubt I'll do the canopy walk as I'm scared of heights.

Looks like you guys had lots of fun,will visit there someday
Oh my that looks terrifying lol. I think i'd be fighting tears during the entire walk…that is, if i didnt chiken out and turn back.

I have promised myself to go on her next tour! or any tour! it should be fun…
love the new blog look!

I need to do this! I haven't done anything adventurous in my life lol.
I really need to visit LCC but i dont think I would do the canopy walk. Too scared to even attempt it
I was just laughing my way to the end while I read this post. I wish I was there to witness the drama. Heights can be scary though but I'd love to visit the LCC once I'm in Lagos.

I actually visited a similar one in kakum park,Ghana.I mean it looked really scary, what was more scarier was that, they made souvenir shirts that had "I survived the canopy walk" on them and in my mind I'm like "I'm done for today" But my friends were with me so I just closed eyes and did it, I literally couldn't look up to take any pictures, my friend's mum was even the funniest, she was speaking in tongues!!
It was an amazing experience though, I might consider doing it again.
Great post Cassie!
