If you are looking for a place to escape the "hustle and bustle" of Lagos life, Lakowe Lakes Golf and Country Estate is one of the best places to go. Many people hear about the beautiful lakes and the golf course, but they often ask, "Where exactly is Lakowe Lakes located?" or "How do I get there without getting lost?"
Lakowe Lakes is a luxury real estate and leisure community that sits on about 308 hectares of land. It is famous for its quiet environment, clean air, and beautiful scenery. Whether you are going there for a weekend getaway, a corporate retreat, or just to see the place, knowing the right route and the current transport fare will save you a lot of stress.
Lakowe Lakes is located in the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos State. It is situated along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, which is the main road connecting the Victoria Island/Lekki axis to Epe.
The area is generally flat and coastal, typical of the Ibeju-Lekki terrain. It is surrounded by other popular residential estates and landmarks. If you are coming from the city center, Lakowe comes after places like Sangotedo and Awoyaya, but before you get to Bogije or Epe town.
If you are coming from the Island, the easiest way is to enter a bus going to Ajah. When you get to Ajah, you will "drop" at the Ajah under-bridge. From there, you will enter another bus heading towards Epe. Tell the conductor or the driver that you are dropping at Lakowe Bus Stop.
From the Mainland, you need to find your way to Ajah first. You can get a direct bus from Oshodi or CMS. Once you reach Ajah, follow the same process: enter an Epe-bound bus and drop at Lakowe. If you are using a private car, just follow the Lekki-Epe Expressway straight down past the second Lekki Toll Gate (Conservation Toll) and keep going until you pass Awoyaya.
If you are coming from Ikorodu, you can take a ferry to Ajah (which is faster) or take a bus to Oshodi/CMS and then link Ajah. From Ajah, you continue the journey to Lakowe.
Below is a breakdown of what you should expect to pay to get to Lakowe. Please note that prices change based on the time of day and the type of vehicle (Yellow bus vs. Korope/Small bus).
| Route | Transport Mode | Fare Range (₦) |
|---|---|---|
| Ajah to Lakowe | Small Bus (Korope) | ₦600 - ₦1,000 |
| CMS/Obalende to Ajah | Big Bus (Molue/BRT) | ₦800 - ₦1,200 |
| Oshodi to Ajah | Commercial Bus | ₦1,200 - ₦2,000 |
| Lakowe Bus Stop to Estate Gate | Bike/Shuttle | ₦300 - ₦500 |
1. Watch Out for Traffic: The Lekki-Epe Expressway is notorious for traffic, especially around Sangotedo (due to the markets and malls). Try to leave early if you have an appointment at Lakowe Lakes.
2. Use Registered Taxis: If you are not using a personal car, it is safer to use Uber or Bolt, especially if you are carrying luggage. However, be ready to pay more because of the distance.
3. Confirm the Bus Stop: Always tell the driver "Lakowe Bus Stop" clearly. There are many bus stops along that road, and you don't want to drop at the wrong one and start trekking.
4. Gate Access: Lakowe Lakes is a private estate. If you are not a resident, ensure you have a booking or a contact person inside before you arrive, otherwise, security might not let you pass the main gate.
Lakowe Lakes is located in the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area (LGA).
No, commercial buses (Danfo) are not allowed inside the estate. You drop at the Lakowe bus stop on the expressway and take a shuttle or bike to the estate gate.
Lakowe Lakes is a private resort. You usually need to book a stay or a specific activity (like golf or a day pass) to gain entry. Prices vary based on the package.
