Day 1 - The Vibes of Yoruba Kingdom
Oyo, the heartland of the Yoruba kingdom, is undeniably bubbling with rich history and culture. We'll kick off our first day by visiting 'Ile Ife', an ancient Yoruba city.

Let's grab a taste of the local cuisine with a sumptuous bowl of Amala and Ewedu soup at 'Skye Lolo'. Think of it as a sort of mashed yam served with jute leaf soup. Doesn't that sound mouthwatering?

Ever been to a 12th-century park? Well, get ready because day 2 is all about connecting with nature at 'Old Oyo National Park'. Immerse in the beauty of the lush flora and fauna, and if we are lucky, we might catch a glimpse of the rare West African wild dogs and patas monkeys. Don't get carried away just yet! We'll be exploring the ancient ruins of Oyo-Ile, a city that played a pivotal role in the history of the Yoruba Kingdom. How cool is that?
Day 3 - A Love Affair with Oyo's Artistry
Time to take a deeper plunge into Oyo's art scene on day 3. We're off to the Nike Centre for Art & Culture. Be prepared to gasp at the astonishing display of contemporary art pieces that resonates deeply with Yoruba's fascinating history. Then, let's finish off the day at Mesiogo Golf. Even if golf's not your thing, you'll definitely appreciate the fresh air and sprawling greens in this fascinating city.
