Calabar (Aerial view of the reception area of Tinapa Resort) Seductive, harmonious Calabar is everyone’s dream city. Much of the state’s originality comes from the diversity of its landscape. Teeming with remarkable ancient memorials; its mountainous interior dotted with delightful, unspoilt villages and natural treasures which span thousands of millennia. Its coastal shores are speckled with pretty seashells and the surrounding towns forming glorious backdrops with whitewashed villages and dramatic scenery. For nature lovers, the neighbouring Obudu National Park and Tinapa resorts is home to some of Nigeria’s highest mountain ranges, where the ancient gods are believed to have met with humanity according to Efik folklore. And then there’s the food, the art month-long annual festivals, and the rich traditions that gives the city its global fame.
