Ezeagu Tourist Complex

Take a thirty minutes drive from the bustling capital city of Enugu State to Ezeagu Tourist Complex. The complex exhibits one of the natural wonders of nature. Measuring about 22 hectares in size, it comprises a lake, a cave and a waterfall (spring water). Pilgrims are continuously attracted to this site following the believed curative nature of the water from the fall. The waterfall, locally called ‘Ogbagada’ is about 23 meters high. The water rushes down the cliff with a thunderous sound that can be heard from a distance. One great phenomenon about Ogbagada is its associated ability to signal the beginning of harmattan through an unusual loud noise from the falls. Its splendour is expressed by the almost 5 kilometres long Obinofia cave whose sheer size and compartments is awe-striking.
The surrounding landscape is a marriage of various land forms with unique weather condition and exotic vegetation. The cave has several tunnels branching out in different directions. Some of the tunnels are inter-connected, often opening up into large chambers which are two to three high and up to ten metres wide.
