Camping in nature is great but we promise, Glamping is much better!

According to XoNecole: "Glamping (glam + camping) is the answer to the perceived inconveniences of camping (uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, no bathroom, excessive manual labor, etc.) for those of you out there like me who still want to experience the outdoors. Whether you stay in a renovated cabin, rent a luxury trailer, or opt for or an all-inclusive tent, glamping represents the best of both worlds and makes for an entirely unforgettable getaway."

Do you want to look as relaxed as Fashion and Lifestyle blogger, Cassie Daves? Or are you wondering what to do for this Eid el-Kabir? Try any of these ideas this holiday.

1. Two nights at Nature Luxury Lodge, Ouidah, Benin Republic

The lodge is a beautiful lake house in Ouidah, just 2 hours away from Lagos. It is a great location to take 5 more of your friends and hole up away from the hustle and bustle of the city for the next 2 days.

In addition to its location on the bank of a lake, it is also a 2-minute walk from the beach. Located 10 km from the Ouidah History Museum, Nature Luxury Lodge offers 3 bedrooms, water sports facilities, free Wi-Fi and a shared kitchen and lounge. It is also very close to tourist attractions like the Gate of No Return and the Python Temple. Because it is "Glamping" there are no food services, so you and your friends have to source for foodstuff at the closes market and cook in the in-built kitchen.

2. A night at Kajuru Castle, Kaduna state

Kajuru castle is one of the best travel destinations for millennials in Nigeria and one of the places you can cross off your bucket list. Grab about ten of your friends and go have yourself a great time.

Located at about 45 kilometres from Kaduna in Kajuru village, Kaduna state, Kajuru Castle was built in 1989 by a German expatriate who lived in Kaduna at the time. It has about 5 rooms in total, a sauna, a pool and a beautiful view because of its location on the top of a hill. There are also no food services but there is a shared kitchen, so make sure to source for foodstuff at a market on your way there that will last you the whole vacation because the castle is quite far from the main town.

3. A night at Jaybee Beach Lodge

Accessible by boat from Ikoyi, VI or Marina, Jaybee Beach Lodge is located on the beautiful sands of Tarkwa Bay. Escape to nature in luxury, listen to the uninterrupted sounds of the breeze and feel the gentle waves of the ocean as you enjoy camping on a wooden platform, which includes a private balcony with a fireplace and a spectacular view of the ocean.

Grab a few of your friends and enjoy the Glamping experience that Jaybee Beach Lodge has to offer.

4. Chill at Pop Beach Club

Enjoy the super colourful 'pop culture' vibe of the decor of Pop Beach and the countless activities (surfing, volleyball, kayaking, hiking etc) they have to offer. It's your ultimate get away from the hustle that is Lagos. It's not exactly a camping experience, but it is a great way to fill your two days with fun with as many of your friends as you'd like.
