Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Kaduna is served by Kaduna International Airport, with domestic flights from Lagos, Abuja and other Nigerian cities. By road it is about 160 km from Abuja, the federal capital, via the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway. The city also has a railway station on the Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge line, with regular train services. Within Kaduna, taxis and minibuses are the main forms of public transport, and ride-hailing apps are also available. Renting a car with a driver is a convenient option for exploring the city and surrounding areas. The hotels on this list all have free car parking except Orange Groove Hotel and Prestige Hotel Limited, which list parking.
When to go
The best time to visit Kaduna is during the dry season, from November to March, when the weather is cooler and less humid. The rainy season, from April to October, brings heavier rainfall and higher humidity, but the landscape is greener. The harmattan wind, which blows from the Sahara, can make December and January dusty and dry. Overall, the dry season is more comfortable for travel and outdoor activities, and it suits stays built around markets, museums and the city's landmarks.
