About this tip
Idanre Hills sits about 24 km from Akure, with some 660 cut steps rising to the old hilltop settlement, the remains of the Owa's palace and the Old Court. Go between November and February, start at first light and finish before midday. Hire a local guide at the base, wear shoes with real grip and carry water, since few stalls sell refreshments. Skip the climb after heavy rain, when the rock turns slippery.
