Strolling from the kitchens to the dairy farm...

Visiting the kitchens' crew in the morning.

Very cool people, warm atmosphere and rich cooking !

Poor turkeys... are made fools of !

they are just asked to grow fat for Thanksgiving
and the kitchen is next door...

Guinea-fowls and hens live their short life in a wild environment...

This little kid, in the nursery...
doesn't looks as he could drive somebody up the wall...

... big ones spend the afternoon in the fields.

Five horses are available for horseback rides

With Baldwin for the dairy farm's tour...

Baldwin has a really good feeling with the animals...

There are two bulls, for reproduction only, in the cattle.
This one is Donald, named after governor Duke !

and here is Joshua, named after governor Dariye !
and Balwin's preferred one.

(Are local governors known to be good reproductors ?)

Milking time...

and milkmen bringing the fresh milk to the dairy factory's 2,000 liters tanks...

... then WHY I never could enjoy a glass of fresh milk !!!
Probably they sell it all outside the ranch...

... because here I could only find yoghurts.

A part of the farm's orchard.

A little chat with the local security guys...

... the whole place here is quiet and safe.

More cable car pics from lost videos...

Alas ! no more Nigeria (and Benin) videos to share !

(Yep, I've lost all of them, by a fatal mistake, when installing an external HD).

Arrival at the low station, downhill.

Leaving the low station on return ride...

... and back to the Cattle Ranch high station.

Enjoy it alone, avoiding any friends' bla bla...
just watch at the sky, the mountains, the trees, the moss...
the cable's rumbling and your shoes' noise on the floor as you turn around
will be part of this 11 km/15 minutes' trip in your memories.

The Obudu cable car is a ropeway technology by the austrian Doppelmayr CC GmbH.
It opened in 2005. We all hope Ponet Nigeria Ltd will keep it safe !
Anyway, it's worth a ride.
