Get To Experience Nature in its Wonder at Kwa Waterfall

Kwa waterfalls is an enormous body of water on a layered descent of a steep, winding gorge flowing down to a stream that forms the main Kwa River through a rainforest. The waterfall is surrounded by a thick canopy of tropical rainforest making it a remarkable place for relaxation and meditation.

The river is said to originate from the Oban Hills in the Cross River National Park and flows southwards to the Cross River creek. Getting to the zenith of the water is both tiring and exciting and you would be needing lots of energy for this adventure. The enormous sound of the waterfall as they hit the rocks makes it more captivating.

On arrival at Kwa waterfalls, you are first welcomed with ancient artifacts in the art room. From the art room is the long journey down to the base of the waterfall through the well-arranged stairway of 234 steps. For lovers of animals, you would find monkeys moving around in the surrounding tropical rainforest.  Here, you can test your photography skills by taking nice shots.

At the base of the waterfall is a large pool of water surrounded by rock formations, a good spot to relax your muscles, take a light swim and just appreciate the creativity of mother nature.
