This pleasant tin-mining town on a high plateau near the center of Nigeria has a museum with displays of items from the Nok excavation, which uncovered ruins of civilizations that existed 4,000 years ago.
The museum also has full-scale representations of buildings from around the country including the Zaria Mosque and the Kano Wall. About 140 mi/225 km east of Jos is the Yankari Game Reserve. Don't expect Yankari to equal the more famous reserves of East Africa, however. There are no organized photo safaris, tent hotels or even many guided expeditions, and thanks to decades of poaching, very few animals left.
410 mi/660 km northeast of Lagos.
