Obudu Mountain Resort

Obudu Mountain Resort is a ranch and resort on the Obudu Plateau in Cross River State, Nigeria. It was developed in 1951 by M. McCaughley, a Scot who first explored the mountain ranges in 1949. He camped on the mountaintop of the Oshie Ridge on the Sankwala Mountains for a month before returning with Mr. Hugh Jones, a fellow rancher, in 1951. Together with Dr Crawfeild, they developed the Obudu Cattle Ranch.Since 2005, a cable car climbing 870 metres from the base to the top of the plateau gives visitors a scenic view while bypassing the extremely winding road to the top.The resort is found on the Obudu Plateau, close to the Cameroon border in the northeastern part of Cross River State, approximately110 kilometres east of the town of Ogoja and 65 kilometres from the town of Obudu in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State.
