  Cool Cats Nigeria

  Nov 2016 - Sept 2018

  CEO/Co-founder

  At Cool Cats, we emphasize quality over size. Our goal is to offer the finest hiking tours available in the areas we know and love best. We keep our groups small and intimate, never cancelling a tour (our minimum size is 1 person), and you’ll benefit from our own genuine excitement for nature and the knowledge that comes from years of personal experience.We’re committed to offering affordable, first-class vacations filled with exciting discoveries and Africa's best hiking. On our tours, you will get a chance to meet new friends, dive into a different culture, and immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful places in the world. We’ve uncovered the best trails and most breathtaking vistas, found the most authentic restaurants and charming inns, tested the chocolate (it’s all good!), and run through the fields to determine their Heidi factor. We’re picky, and we’ve assembled, I believe, the very best that nature have to offer.We’ll strive to make our trip as ecologically sound as possible, using marked trails, staying in small local inns, using extensive public transport system, and maintaining respect for the land through which we walk. Traveling as a small group allows us to minimize our impact and visit places that bigger groups just can’t. At Cool Cats, we love nature, and we’re excited to share them with you! Show less
