Kwa Falls is a beautiful, natural escape from the city of Calabar. The waterfall and plunge pool are the main draws, and the rainforest setting is genuinely refreshing. Expect a short walk on uneven paths and a wonderful sense of nature.
What is Kwa Falls?
Kwa Falls is a spectacular waterfall located in Anegeje, about 30 minutes from Calabar, Cross River State, set in the heart of a tropical rainforest. The waterfall cascades down a steep, lush gorge into a cool, clear plunge pool, perfect for a refreshing dip on a hot day. It is a popular spot for nature lovers, picnickers and families who want a break from city life. The walk to the falls is short and manageable for children, though the path can be slippery, so proper footwear is recommended.
