Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see around Sharpe Guest, and is it comparable to more famous East African parks?

While Ologbo isn't teeming with the megafauna of the Serengeti, we love Sharpe Guest for its authentic Nigerian bush experience. We've spotted various monkey species, diverse birdlife including vibrant kingfishers, and occasionally glimpse antelopes. It's a different kind of magic, more about immersion and discovery than ticking off a checklist.

We're considering a trip to Sharpe Guest in August. Is this a good time to visit Nigeria's Mid-West, and what should we pack?

August falls within the rainy season, so expect lush landscapes and fewer crowds, which we find quite appealing. We recommend packing lightweight, quick-drying clothing, good walking shoes, and a reliable rain jacket. The humidity can be high, so breathable fabrics are key for comfort during your stay.

We've always felt secure and well looked after at Sharpe Guest. The lodge is situated in a peaceful area, and the local community is incredibly welcoming. We advise staying informed about general travel advisories for Nigeria, but rest assured, the immediate surroundings of the lodge feel very safe and tranquil.
