Nightlife info

On your final night in the city, you need to be relaxed and get refreshed for your trip the next day. You could pay a visit to the mutton suya spot at Aba Sports Club. Although not as fancy as other famous spots, around the country, the service is quite impressive and the flavour of the chops keeps you pinned to table ordering for more. A trip to this bubbly city is not complete without exploring the piping hot meat, just off the grill at this spot. You could go to the Aba Festival, free for all and obviously very interesting. Songs by original hunters ‘songs of victory’ are sung there. It is becoming a huge tourist attraction.

Aba, a great yet small city filled with exciting places to go and things to do. The city has a lot to offer and a tour around the city requires more than just 48 hours, however with our help you can still have a great experience.
