Calabar's rich history

Calabar served as the first capital of Nigeria under British colonial rule. Cats should visit the Old Residency museum to learn more about this fascinating past.

Culture of food

If cats are feeling adventurous they should try the local dish 'editan soup' made with various meats and vegetables. But be careful! It's spicy!

Festival fun

Visit during the Calabar Carnival to see colorful parades and traditional dance performances. Don't miss the masquerade bands!

Nature in the city

Take a stroll through the Cross River National Park located near Calabar. You might spot some rare primates like the drill or chimpanzee!

Tips for staying safe

Beware of pickpockets, especially in busy areas. Stay alert and trust your instincts. Don't wander off at night alone.
