If you’re dreaming of one great trip in 2025, these seven countries give you big sights, smooth planning, and good value at different budgets.

This guide keeps things simple for Nigerian travellers: why each place is worth your money, the best months to go, and a few practical notes on routes and visas, no fluff, just what helps you move from idea to itinerary.

Here are 7 Countries Nigerians Can Visit in 2025:

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is perfect when you want a classic “wow” moment and a real safari in the same trip. Victoria Falls thunders at full power from March to May, throwing mist into the sky and painting rainbows over the gorge. From June to October, the weather is dry, animals crowd around waterholes, and game drives in Hwange or Mana Pools feel like a live documentary.

It is easy to pair two nights at the Falls with a day trip to Chobe in neighbouring Botswana, then spend another two or three nights in Hwange before flying back to Lagos via Johannesburg. Most Nigerians use the official online e-Visa before travelling.

Hotels range from simple guesthouses to stylish river-view lodges, and local guides make everything from border crossings to park fees painless.

Lithuania

Lithuania gives you a slice of Europe that feels charming but not crowded. Vilnius has golden church spires, cobblestone lanes, and cafes where you can sit for hours without rushing.

Summer is long and light between May and September, and day trips are easy: take a short ride to Trakai to see its island castle, or hop to Kaunas for street art and riverside walks. Flights usually connect through Istanbul, Frankfurt or Paris, and you’ll apply for a Schengen visa in advance.

Costs are friendlier than in Western Europe, and three or four full days are enough to enjoy the old towns, markets, and parks without packing too much into each day.

Sri Lanka

Few places pack this much variety into one island. Land in Colombo, head south for beaches at Unawatuna or Mirissa, then ride the famous blue train through tea country to Ella, watching the hills roll by like a movie.

Add a night near Sigiriya to climb the ancient rock fortress and visit temples in the Cultural Triangle. The west and south coasts shine from December to April, while the east coast is better from September to November.

Nigerians usually arrange an ETA with a sponsor before arrival; check the official guidance and give yourself time. Food is fresh and affordable, hotels range from homestays to boutique villas, and drivers are easy to hire if you don’t want to navigate buses or trains on your own.

South Korea

Korea is clean, quick, and culture-rich. Seoul is neon and noodle shops, palaces and pop culture; Busan adds beaches, hills, and a huge fish market; Jeju brings volcanic scenery and quiet coastlines.

Spring, from March to May brings cherry blossoms, while autumn from September to November, paints the mountains in colour. The KTX high-speed train links major cities in hours, and a reloadable transit card makes the metro and buses simple even on your first day.

You’ll apply for a visa through the embassy or its partner office in Lagos, and it’s smart to book appointments early. Street food keeps costs in check, Wi-Fi is everywhere, and English signs are common in transport hubs, so first-timers settle in fast.

Argentina

This is a long flight, but the reward is huge variety. Spend a few days in Buenos Aires for tango, leafy parks, bookstores and steak dinners, then fly south to Patagonia for glaciers, lakes, and wide-open hiking trails. The Patagonia season runs roughly October to April; Buenos Aires works year-round, with mild winter days in July and August.

Spanish helps, but you can manage with a translation app and a friendly attitude. Prices shift with the exchange rate, yet you’ll find solid mid-range hotels and family-run restaurants in most areas. Nigerians apply for a tourist visa through the nearest Argentine mission, and it’s wise to gather bookings and insurance before your appointment. Give this trip at least ten days so the long flights feel worth it.

Morocco

Morocco is close, colourful, and full of contrast. Wander the pink lanes of Marrakesh, sip mint tea in courtyards, ride over the High Atlas into palm-lined valleys, sleep under the stars in a desert camp, then circle back through Fes with its blue gates and maze-like streets.

Spring and autumn bring warm days and cooler nights, great for rooftop dinners and long strolls. Direct or one-stop flights are common, and many Nigerians find competitive fares if they book early.

You will apply for a visa in advance unless you qualify for the online option; check the most recent instructions before you pay for hotels. Staying in a riad—an old house with a central courtyard—adds a bit of magic without breaking the bank.

Norway

When you want crisp air and jaw-dropping scenery, Norway delivers. In summer, take the train from Oslo to Bergen, cruise the fjords, and walk quiet trails under long daylight. In winter, head north to Tromsø for a chance at the northern lights, balancing the cold with cosy cafes and saunas.

May to September is best for fjords and road trips; September to March is the aurora window, with the darkest months around mid-winter. Norway is part of Schengen, so you’ll organise a visitor visa first. Costs are higher than in most places on this list, but smart planning helps: book trains early, choose apartment stays with kitchens, and build your route around a few big experiences instead of moving every day.
