Quick safety and comfort checklist
- Arrive early. Departures are at 6:00 a.m. or 6:30 a.m., so plan your trip to the park the night before.
- Ask about luggage. Extra bags or cartons may cost more. Benue Links publishes an Insurance and Waybill Policy on its site. Ask about it if you’re sending goods.
- Plan for a full day. Benue Links doesn’t publish journey times, and traffic or checkpoints can add hours.
- Save emergency numbers. The FRSC toll-free emergency line is 122, according to the FRSC contact page.
