If you live in Nigeria — especially in Lagos — you know “vacation planning” can feel like a luxury reserved for influencers with endless free time. You’re thinking of escaping the daily grind, but reality hits:
Traffic alone can eat half your mood before you even reach the airport.
Your boss might give you notice for leave only after you’ve already mentally given up on life.
And let’s not forget — the naira and your dream vacation don’t always get along.
For most busy Nigerians, the thought of booking a trip in 24 hours sounds like something only a travel blogger could pull off… until Ada proved otherwise.
We know that the secret to quick travel is not overthinking the options. So we gave Ada a shortlist that balanced affordability, minimal travel time, and maximum relaxation.
Top contenders:
Obudu Mountain Resort — For cool weather, scenic views, and Instagram-worthy breakfast shots.
Inagbe Beach Resort — Close enough to avoid airport stress, far enough to feel like another world.
Accra, Ghana — Vibrant culture, great food, and no language barrier (unless you count Pidgin vs Twi).
Ada chose Accra because: 1) beach vibes, 2) the waakye, and 3) she could flex her international trip without a visa headache.
We locked in a mid-week return ticket at a sweet discounted rate — no “weekend rush” prices here. We also arranged a private airport drop-off so she could glide into Murtala Muhammed without the stress of begging Bolt drivers to “please on AC.”
Pro Tip: Weekday flights are often up to 30% cheaper, especially if you’re booking within West Africa.
We found a boutique hotel in Accra with a pool, amazing reviews, free breakfast, and WiFi that actually works (because sometimes “free WiFi” means “you can connect but you can’t browse”).
Best part? It was within budget and walking distance to several attractions.
Guide: Always filter for “free breakfast” when booking hotels. That’s one less meal to budget for every day.
Vacations without a plan often turn into “just sitting in the hotel scrolling TikTok.” We crafted a mini itinerary for Ada:
Day 1: Explore Osu, shop local markets, end with a rooftop dinner.
Day 2: Beach day at Labadi, coconut in hand, zero emails allowed.
Day 3: Spa morning before flying back.
We even slipped in a list of Instagram captions so she wouldn’t spend 45 minutes thinking of what to write under her sunset photo.
Here’s where Bookings & Errands shines. While Ada was packing, we:
Paid her electricity bill (because nothing ruins a post-vacation glow like coming home to darkness).
Picked up sunscreen and travel-sized toiletries.
Handled her currency exchange so she wouldn’t be standing in line with five impatient customers sighing behind her.
By the time she zipped her suitcase, every “pre-trip” worry had been handled.
1. Be Flexible with Dates
Mid-week and off-season = lower prices, fewer crowds. You’ll thank yourself later.
2. Choose Nearby Destinations
Within Nigeria or neighboring countries. You spend less time in airports, more time enjoying your trip.
3. Book Flights & Hotels Together
Package deals can save you up to 20%. That’s money you can put towards more experiences (or, let’s be honest, food).
4. Use a Personal Errand Service
Delegate the boring-but-necessary tasks so you can focus on enjoying the trip — not running around.
Time-Saving: We make “impossible” timelines work.
Budget-Friendly: We know where the travel hacks hide.
Stress-Free: You show up. We handle the rest.
Life’s too short to wait for the “perfect time” to travel. Sometimes, the best trips are the ones you didn’t see coming. And with a little help, you can be on your way to a stress-free getaway in just 24 hours.
