Overview

This 8-day immersive tour is designed to give you the full Detty December experience — blending Lagos’ iconic party scene with rich cultural heritage, natural wonders, and culinary adventures. Starting and ending in vibrant Lagos, you’ll journey through history in Badagry, soak up nature at Lekki Conservation Centre, and vibe at the legendary New Afrika Shrine. By day, explore markets, history, and art; by night, dive headfirst into Lagos’ world-famous nightlife.
What is Detty December?
"Detty December" is that electric time of year when Nigeria — and especially Lagos — becomes the heartbeat of West Africa. It’s when IJGBs (“I Just Got Backs”), locals, and visitors from all over the world converge to celebrate the holidays with nonstop concerts, beach parties, weddings, festivals, and nightlife that runs till sunrise. Lagos doesn’t just host December, it owns it. And with Afro Jolly, you won’t just watch it happen — you’ll live it.
And this time, you’ll also celebrate Christmas in true Lagos style — plenty Jollof, Chicken, Afrobeat rhythms, palm wine toasts, and unforgettable vibes.
