This waterfall is one of the tributaries of the River Niger and is just about three hours away from Abuja. It is perfect for picnics, swimming adventures, and hikes. The beautiful waterfall drops approximately 30 meters into the Gurara river and is a complete rush during the rainy seasons. During the dry season, the falls slow down, allowing visitors to swim in the clear pools at the bottom.
