One or two days covers Awka well. Spend a day around town, Zik's Avenue and the Nnamdi Azikiwe University area at Ifite, then add a morning at Agulu Lake to see the crocodiles. With an extra day, you can reach the Igbo-Ukwu bronze sites or the Ogbunike Caves.

No. Awka is the capital of Anambra State, spread across the Awka South and Awka North local government areas. Awka-Etiti is a separate town in Idemili South, farther south toward Nnewi. The similar names often confuse visitors, so it helps to confirm which one your host means.

Agulu Lake is roughly 15 km from central Awka, in the town of Agulu along the Awka road, so the drive is short. Crocodiles and turtles usually come out to bask around noon. Fishing is not allowed and the reptiles are sacred, so visitors watch from the banks with the custodian.
