Really exciting tour. Well organized private tour with a group of locals from Makoko. We visited a local school and orphanage before heading into the canals. If you want to get a glimpse of the lives of an absolutely unique part of the population of Lagos make sure to head out here and join this tour. Duration, pick-up and timing are flexible.
