'''Obudu Mountain Resort Currently Managed by ZEDICI CAPITAL LIMITED''' (formerly known as the '''Obudu Cattle Ranch''') is a [[ranch]] and resort on the [[Obudu Plateau]] in [[Cross River State]], [[Nigeria]]. It was developed in 1951 by M. McCaughley, a [[Scotland|Scot]] who first explored the [[mountain ranges]] in 1949. He camped on the mountaintop of the [[Oshie Ridge]] on the [[Sankwala Mountains]] for a month before returning with Mr. Hugh Jones, a fellow [[rancher]], in 1951. Together with Dr Crawfeild, they developed the Obudu Cattle Ranch.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nigeria: Tracing the Origin of Obudu Mountain Resort|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/201001050208.html|website=allafrica.com|accessdate=June 28, 2017}}</ref> It is currently managed by Zedici Capital Limited.
Since 2005, a [[Aerial lift|cable car]] climbing {{convert|870|m}} from the base to the top of the plateau gives visitors a scenic view while bypassing the extremely winding road to the top.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEstuFytabk Building the Obudu Mountain cable car] - YouTube</ref>
