Okomu Wildlife Sanctuary

Okomu Wildlife Sanctuary: One of the few remaining pristine rain forest area in Southern Nigeria established by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) with the support of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to save the Sclater's Guenon- one of the rarest monkeys in the world endemic to Nigeria and few remaining Forest Elephants in Nigeria. It is located at about an hour's drive from Benin City off the Lagos - Benin expressway. It contains other primates native to the rain forest. It is ideal for game viewing and as a nature trail.
