Terra cotta, heads of animals and man; and weapons of war are abundant on display.
Obudu Cattle Ranch

The Ranch is over 1,524m, has temperate weather condition to make sure green vegetation and grazing of cattle round the year. The Ranch is a tourist delight as a result of its divergent attractions.
