Three days on one of the clearest rivers in Nigeria. Teal water, tall green grass swaying under the surface and fish swimming past your feet. Plus 60 people and a weekend full of games.
The Ethiope rises from springs beneath a giant cotton tree in Umuaja and runs about 50 km to Sapele. The water is so clear you'll be able to see the fish. And the teal is real (fr fr).
