Is Calabar safe for solo female travelers?

Calabar has a relatively low crime rate compared to other regions in Nigeria, and it’s regarded as one of the safest cities within the country. That being said, it’s still important to be cautious, especially after dark. It is recommended to stick to populated areas, always book licensed taxis over hailing one on the street, and keep a low profile to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. As with any destination, it’s always wise to be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times.
