The Lekki Conservation Centre is an urban nature reserve on the Lekki Peninsula in Lagos State, Nigeria, managed by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation. It protects remnant coastal woodland and provides a managed site for wildlife viewing and environmental education.

The site features paved and unpaved walking trails, boardwalks and an elevated canopy walkway that runs roughly 400 metres through the tree canopy. Common sights include native birds, small primates and reclaimed mangrove habitat along the reserve’s paths.

The centre was created to conserve a patch of coastal forest within the rapidly developing Lekki corridor and to offer public programmes on conservation and biodiversity. It sits within the built-up Lekki area on Lagos’s eastern waterfront.

• Canopy walkway: About 400 metres long elevated walkway provides panoramic views from the tree canopy.
• Management and purpose: Managed by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation and functions as an urban nature reserve and education centre.

Drive or take a taxi along the Lekki-Epe Expressway toward Lekki Phase 1/Exxon. The centre is located at about Km 19 on the expressway; signage is visible from the road. Public buses drop passengers at busier nodes on the expressway - from there, a short taxi ride is required.

• Take the Lekki-Epe Expressway (follow signs to Lekki Conservation Centre) - arrive early to avoid traffic on the expressway.
• Walk the canopy walkway first thing; it's cooler, photography is better, and wildlife is more active before midday.
• Bring small change for the entrance and park kiosk; guided night walks require advance arrangement and a local guide.
