Matsirga waterfalls are situated in Madakiya, close to Kafanchan, about 227 kilometers south of Kaduna, the water at Matsiriga waterfalls drops 30 meters into a gorge that has been supported by beautiful rocks. The fresh cool breeze around the area has something to offer to tourists.

At the point of impact with the river, the cascading showers of the fall create a rainbow-like mist that appears and disappears mysteriously.

The river formed by Matsirga Waterfalls increases with the rainy season, overflowing its banks. A natural rock shelter at the river bank forms a cover and relaxing place for picnicking. Like a half umbrella, it provides shade for tourists amidst the amazing continuous waterfall.
