Travel tips: Osogbo is easy to reach by road from nearby cities. If you’re driving, expect local traffic patterns to shift during festivals and market days, so allow extra time. For accommodation, look for guesthouses and small hotels near the city centre or close to the Grove for the shortest commute to events.

Safety and local etiquette: dress modestly at cultural sites, ask before taking photos of people in ceremonies, and use registered guides when possible. Cash is widely used in markets, so keep small notes handy. If you’re attending crowded events, pick a meeting spot with friends in case reception worsens.
