About
About KabaKaba
KabaKaba is a Lagos lagoon landing with 12 sailings from 05:30 to 18:00, a four-minute crossing to Allens Unit at Alex Apapa. Apapa is the site of Lagos's main container port, and the road approaches to it are notorious for queues that can last many hours; the water crossing takes minutes. That contrast is why Lagos State Waterways exists in the form it does — not as a scenic service but as a way around a road network that is comprehensively overloaded. The boats are small and the frequency follows the working day. Journey times on the water here are stable in a way road times are not, which is the main reason commuters pay for the boat.
