If you've ever had doubts about the beauty of Nigeria, perhaps a visit to this place can convince you. It's also perfect for picnics and swimming. However, always remember to be cautious especially when you're going during the rainy season. Make sure to be closer to the large smooth rocks further downstream with the smaller pools.
