Ekiti's Mountain of Clouds Becomes a Beacon of Tourism Excellence as 7th Hike Ekiti Mountain Safari Draws Over 1,000 Adventurers
…Governor Oyebanji Pledges World-Class Transformation of Tourism Assets

Efon-Alaaye, Ekiti State – April 21, 2025

The 7th Edition of the Hike Ekiti Mountain Safari – Hike & Dine in the Clouds – has shattered records and captivated hearts, as more than 1,000 tourists, nature enthusiasts, dignitaries, and celebrities stormed the majestic Mountain of Clouds (Sagbonke Mountain) in Efon-Alaaye, Ekiti State, on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025.

The event, organized by Discover Ekiti Tourism Club in collaboration with the Ekiti State Bureau of Tourism Development and the Efon-Alaaye-in-Council, delivered a spellbinding experience where nature, culture, adventure, and fine dining met under the misty peaks.

The day’s adventure began at Fajuyi Pavilion, Ado-Ekiti, with participants assembling as early as 6:00 a.m. and proceeding to Efon-Alaaye for the much-anticipated hike. Trails blanketed in cloud mist, rolling green hills, and the invigorating spirit of Ekiti’s natural wonderland set the stage for an unforgettable journey.

Governor Biodun Oyebanji, who personally flagged off the hike, used the occasion to reaffirm his administration’s commitment to repositioning Ekiti’s tourism sector to world-class standards. Addressing the crowd at the summit of Sagbonke Mountain, the Governor described tourism as a powerful engine for economic growth and emphasized his government’s resolve to modernize, restore, and promote iconic tourism assets across the state.

"Tourism is not just about recreation; it’s about building a stronger economy and showcasing the pride of our heritage to the world," he said.

The atmosphere was electric with the presence of notable personalities including Nollywood star Yomi Fash-Lanso, alongside cultural performances, panoramic sightseeing, and a luxury "Dine in the Clouds" feast that elevated the experience into a festival of flavors and friendships.

Ambassador Wale Ojo-Lanre, Director General of the Ekiti State Bureau of Tourism Development, hailed the overwhelming turnout and praised the growing momentum behind Ekiti’s eco-tourism revolution. Michael Peculiar Ekiran, Founder of Discover Ekiti Tourism Club and Special Assistant to the Governor on Tourism Development, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the state government, corporate sponsors, and the Efon community for their invaluable support.

Sponsors that fueled the success of the 2025 edition include Adron Homes, Rite Foods, Voki, Batoil, Dan Pharmacy, Fure Bio Water, Olu Olu Foods, and The Tusk Hotel Abuja, among others.

The 7th Edition of the Hike Ekiti Mountain Safari has not only etched unforgettable memories but also cemented Efon-Alaaye and the Mountain of Clouds as a rising star in Nigeria’s eco-tourism landscape—heralding a new dawn for tourism in Ekiti State.
