From your starting point in Ikoyi (e.g., Falomo, Awolowo Road), take a local Danfo bus or Keke Napep to Obalende Bus Stop.
At Obalende, look for a Danfo bus heading to Oshodi. These buses usually load under the bridge or at the main park.
From Oshodi (either by the Oshodi-Isolo expressway or Bolade), find a Danfo bus going to Iyana-Ipaja.
At Iyana-Ipaja, take another Danfo bus directly to Akowonjo Roundabout or any bus heading further into Akowonjo (e.g., 'Vulcanizer Bus Stop').

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:30 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Evening travel is best started before 4:00 PM to beat the homeward bound traffic. Weekends usually have lighter traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel, especially after 7 PM, requires caution. Be wary of 'one-chance' operators, particularly if taking shared taxis or less crowded buses from less formal parks. Always board buses from recognized bus stops and avoid displaying valuables openly.
