    Had a wonderful experience here but I believe more can be done to make this a safer a nicer attraction site in Nigeria.

    I’ll start by saying, the trip to Gurara is not one to embark on by yourself. The more the merrier. It started out really hectic especially with the bad roads and the fact that we got lost. We were 30km away from Minna & 50 minutes past Gurara waterfalls when we became aware that we had passed it and had to turn back. There was no sign to indicate the waterfalls. Although, we were told of a sign that was formerly there. The only present indication now is a warning sign not to swim. So keep an eye out for this (posted amongst the pictures). There is also a small fee to enter. After this, we had a picnic and thoroughly enjoyed nature’s gift aided by the tour guides Ofcourse. All initial troubles were long forgotten as we took in the serenity of our environment. Also, remember to carry your own food as there are no places nearby to purchase food but soft drinks can be purchased from the local vendors. Xx

    Beautiful falls but like the rest of Nigeria no infrastructure such as a restaurant or toilet. There is not even a proper signboard that takes you there

    simply wow we saved the best for the last. Gurara falls is well managed - there is an entrance fee of 500 naira per person. Its better to have your own means of transportation. There are different areas of the waterfall. The lookout point, the sandy shore part where you can do pinics and barbecue , the rocky front at the waterfall base where you can sunbath if you wanted. Towards the end there is a swimming area where you can take dip. The locals fish there also so its possible to get white catfish, black catfish and some other types. We had a guide and gave him a 1000 Naira for taking us around. Absolutely a must see

    Accessible site. Amazing view when you get to the site of the waterfall. You get a tour guide and pay 1000 at the entrance.

    One of the most beautiful remote locations in my community. Managed by Niger state tourism board, its an eye candy of several water waterfalls and rock formations. Steady, continuous, 24/7 stream of gushing water over rocks. Sounds of nature everywhere. This place has the ability to increase your average life expectancy with just smiles and joy. No one told a joke but you will find yourself smiling. Take a look at some of the pictures below.

    I really liked it there, I was there a couple of days ago with my friends, and I really loved the overall experience, the fall was so mind numbing and the people were all free and ready to mingle, I watched a fisherman do his thing, caught some live fishes right in front of me, and it was a nice experience.

    It is a beautiful place to visit. Great site for hiking, a canoe ride is also available to get one as close to the foot of the waterfall as possible and also to the other sides. Tour guides are attached to each group once the sign in is completed at the entrance. Swimming is said to be prohibited though this isnt enforced. The way there isnt well marked, so one might need to ask for directions.

    Calming and peaceful if you love to enjoy some quiet. The sound of the water is very therapeutic cause it carries the natural vibrational sound of nature. Good location for beautiful pictures too for picture lovers. The place could do more better with a bit of publicity and also other recreational activities to make the experience more adventurous for tourists. Also very important when going kindly take your grub with your as they dont offer catering services there.....you could also carry a barbeque stand if you wish to do some grilling.....the locals could catch fish for you and you grill it.....

    Awesome. The waterfall, birds in the air, the clouds coupled with the green grass and trees were just nature perfect. Unfortunately, there is no refreshment nor entertainment you have to bring yours. Boo, to Niger state Ministry of tourism. There is a lot of money to be generated from Tourism in that state but they just keep being redundant

    The place is cool and breath taking but it still needs more attention. No bar nor snacks shop. No hotel nor any form of accommodation or conference hall, when this things are put together am sure it will be a one stop spot for all

    Amazing..you get a different feel based in when you visit. The low tide during dry seasons has a quite unique view and the water at that time is cleaner and you are able to see parts of the rock and might even be able to soak in a short time at some pools of water. In the rainy season, the force of the water is also a spectacle. I would suggest a double visit at the peak of both seasons.

    Beauty of nature, best visited during the hamattan season, then the water volume is low which makes it accessible unlike during the rainy season when the water volume engulfs the area.

    Best time to visit is during the rainy season, the waterfall is magnificent. Good location for a picnic or camping with friends. Make sure you come along with your food, drinks and entertainment. I would say it is not really suitable for young children as the way down is steep and quite rugged.

    I have visited three times now. Beautiful place that i feel is wildly under developed in terms of how much value it can bring: tourist experience et al. I keep imagining being able to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of a waterfall; have a freshly caught grilled fish with yams or potatoes. That said, the absolute best time to go is in the raining season. The fall is glorious at that time. If you are looking to climb the side of the waterfall, dry season is your best bet.

    The Gurara falls and river were named after two gods once worshipped by Gwari people: Gura and Rara. The Waterfalls is located in Gurara, a local government area of Niger State, North Central Nigeria. The waterfalls is approximately 30metres in height and it lies on the Gurara river along the Suleja-Minna Road. The Waterfalls is one of the famous tourist sites in Nigeria. Located in Niger State and close to FCT, the site is popular with foreigners and Nigerians. In times past, natives of Gurara waterfall used to worship the waterfall and offer sacrifices to it. Fast forward to present time where the only sacrifice made is climbing a steepy hill to see

    Ok Gurara is a great place to be especially with friends. This is my 2nd or 3rd time and certainly with friends is a great fun. Going during the rainy season makes the water muddy so perhaps dry season is better if u intend swimming. Also pls and pls ensure u take all ur trash with u...a friend of mine got a deep wound inside the water due to glass piercing her feet.
