Mount Patti is a hill and one of the most visited tourist locations in Lokoja, Kogi state. It is about 1503 meters high. The Niger and Benue river confluence can be viewed from the summit. It is from this point the name 'Nigeria' was coined by Flora Shaw in 1914.
Attractions on the hill also include memorial statues of Luggard and Flora, Luggard Rest House, an ancient baobab tree bearing tourist grafittis and radio houses with tall telecom and broadcast masts. The surrounding forest is teeming with wildlife - snakes, monkeys, moths, etc.
