Explore The Republic: Photos from our fun trip to Omu Resorts

In line with our commitment to foster a strong sense of community and promote genuine connections among members of the Lekki Republic community (online and offline), we thought about a series of activities that would encourage group explorations of our immediate locality and discovery of cool places with tourist interest around the Lekki area of Lagos and environs.

The series will generally be about fun thing to do and places to visit in Lekki and Lagos at large.

This gave birth to  ‘Explore The Republic’ series which we launched with good coverage from the local press. (thanks to The Cable Nigeria, Tech Cabal, Silverbird’s Rhythm FM & Raypower network).

The first event in our series: Explore the Republic: A fun trip to Omu Resort finally happened on the 10th of June and it was a success.

Despite the heavy rain, our guests came out ready to have fun and they were not disappointed. We had our bus waiting at our rendezvous point as early as 9 AM. However, we did not set out for Omu Resort until past 11 AM this was to ensure no preregistered guest was left behind.

Just before we left Lekki for Bogije, we received a call from event Sponsor Waffle Haus NG who delivered fresh & delicious Waffles with cream & chocolate syrup.

The rain ain't stopping us. @wafflehausng came through! #ExploreTheRepublic

We had a great time devouring those waffles. 🙂 Quite yummy.

The staff at Omu Resort were already expecting our arrival and were quite happy to see us. They quickly took us to our reserved area where they engaged us in some team bonding activities.

We then went kayaking

Despite the rain, our guests came out and they had so much fun @omuresort. Thanks to @wafflehausng for the nice refreshments and for all who joined our road trip. Anticipate #ExploreTheRepublic Season 2. #LekkiRepublic #TourismLagos #WaffleHausNG #omuresort

and then to see the zoo …

The Zoo at Omu Resort has a Lion, Baboons, Crocs, an ostrich, a tortoise, hyenas, snakes and birds.

Then we went on the pirate ship for one hell of a fun experience.

Then we did some archery, took vintage photos and went to the water park. The whole of the experience can’t be captured in words. It’s something you should experience for yourself. #ExploreTheRepublic Season 2 will be bigger and much better than this one.
