Hello Nairalanders

I hope you do enjoy this video as much I enjoyed making it!!

In this video I shared a personal experience of how I got lost trying to locate one of the most popular waterfalls in Northern Nigeria…Gurara waterfalls in Niger State Nigeria.

It was a thrilling yet scary experience for me and I felt the nudge to share with you all.

So, there you go and please do subscribe to my YouTube channel for more amazing stories. Thank you!!

I also gave tips on how to travel better when visiting a tourist centre in Nigeria and what time of the year is best to visit this particular waterfall in Nigeria.

Gurara waterfalls is located along the Suleja-Minna express way in Gurara local government area of Niger state Nigeria and it’s one of the main tourist attraction focus of the state.

The surroundings around the fall has a large land mass that is not been put into use as I feel it could be turned into a proper resort with lots of touristic activities and generate more revenue to the state.

Here are few pictures of the falls…

Hiking to get to the top of the falls can be tedious and stressful so best time to visit the falls would be doing the dry season as the rocks are less slippery and easier to climb through.

However the best time to see the beauty of the falls with it’s full view would be doing the rainy season.

Though the water might look muddy due to flood and erosions from the rains.

Here are pictures of the falls during the rainy season when I visited…

Have you been here before ? How was it for you navigating through to get to the falls ? Was it easier for you and what’s your view about the place ? Kindly share!!

Those are awesome views of
Gurara falls @Bbsharon.

What rainy season year did you visit there?

I'd love to visit Gurara as a tourist, but based on travel advisory as of 2022, security would be a major issue. What do you think?

That was in 2019.
Definitely, security is a serious issue and threat to Nigeria tourism at the moment so I advise to wait it out a little bit more.

True that @Bbsharon... You must have had a great and fun-filled time on that Gurara trip. I always love to go on stimulating leisure travel to various countries as well, and explore something new.

We have to stick with virtual tours of the breathtaking Nigerian tourist scenes for now... with the exception of some tourist sites in Yorubaland (Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, etc) and Calabar that can be visited physically.

Well, we keep on truckin'.

Safe Trips!

Gurara is safe.

Looking at your pictures I assumed it was even a recent one.

I was recently there and it still attracts visitors. Gurara is on the Abuja-Minna road. And that road is safe.

Do you have a calendar or schedule for your trips round nigeria? Will like to key into one of it.
I love tourism

Virtual Tours! Yea.
Thank you!!

You're welcome...

Yeah, "Virtual Tours" with Webcams installed on popular global tourist sites were big hits before and during the global lockdowns of 2020.

I watched the full video you posted here on your spontaneous visit to
Gurara waterfalls, and you're one gal that loves taking kickass risks. I'm sure you didn't even tell any member of your family before heading out for the waterfalls. Lol.

I did not fail to notice the new "wedding ring" in your video... So, that's probably one of the major reasons why you stopped posting here... Huh? I've been reading your posts for some years now though, using my oldest NL account registered from the late 2000s.


Cheers!
