For the climb itself and the view, I would give an absolute 5 stars! It is rightfully a natural wonder. But…we paid 2,000 naira per person and the guide expected 10,000 naira. We had discussions about this because it doesn't state anywhere what you have to pay, and I think they look at the person and determine the price on the spot. Those are the men who are there; our guide spent the entire ride on his phone calling or listening to something and occasionally took his earphones out to say something. The actual organization behind this is very nice; we happened to meet them at the end, they are from Lagos. It is good if they know how the staff behaves when they are not there. This really put a damper on the experience. We were there on 20/7/26
