I paid a visit to a famous tourist centre in West Africa "Nigeria". It's called the Gurara waterfall , Located in Niger State, North Central of Nigeria.it was a wonderful experience.Gurara waterfall is one of the natural habitats that the country is blessed with and serves as a tourist centre for travellers and fun lovers. Happy to share with you guys.
Below are some thrilling fact,photos and my little experience about the glamorous waterfall.
The Gurara river is a large tributary of the famous River Niger and is most impressive after the rainy season when the water becomes a raging torrent while in January, during the dry season and when water levels are low, there are clear pools at the bottom of the falls in which visitors can swim.
The Gurara waterfall is the favourite feasting spot for herd of cattle that feed on the sparse short grasses carpeting the river banks. The environment is completely free from dirt or contamination, with lots of trees and shrubbery providing healing fresh oxygen, which animates the brain.
The river and the falls itself is noted to have great potentials for sport fishing and wildlife viewing.such things are carried out there.
As well as being an area of outstanding natural beauty the area surrounding Gurara Waterfall is also a fantastic place for bird watching.
I carried out a little research on the waterfall . History has it that the Gurara falls and river were named after two gods once worshipped by Gwari people: Gura and Rara.The community around the waterfalls used to worship the falls. If they had problems, they used to go to the waterfall to pray and carry out sacrifices. When some Europeans discovered the falls in 1925, they turned it into a recreational area, and so the sacrifices were stopped.
Thats me enjoying the wonderful cool air blowing on me. Don't really like taking photos of myself though . Me some couple of friends together we climbed hills ,it was a wonderful experience though. Life's is a climb, but the view is great.
In every walk with nature ,life receive more than he seeks
