[Recap] Victoria Island - Photo Walk

It was a beautiful day with blue skies, no wind and ambient temperature was 29°C; perfect for our photo walk, the weather was on our side.

We converged at the venue at the said time and after a brief introduction from attendees we started the walk. Some local guides met themselves for the first time. There was joy amongst guides whom have not seen each other for almost a year.

During the walk, while we edited the maps, top guides entertained questions and we all shared ideas amongst each other.


It was a 3 km walk and we had a few minute fruit recess at a mobile fruit vendor (which is easily found on the streets of Victoria Island).

The walk was a circuit from Akin Adesola St, through Karimu Kotun Street, Sanusi Fafunwa Street, Adeyomo Alakija Street then back to our starting point.

The meetup was a success, special thanks to Anita Ajah, Mr Labule, Samson and Sagir for inspiring me to host this.

Awesome @AustinCO Thanks for organising, I really did had a lot of fun that day. It was a great joy for me to connect with Local Guides who share similar passion like mine I haven’t meant in a long time. Looking forward to more meetups as this in the future.
