Über diesen Tip
Gurara Falls drops about 30 metres across a wide rock face on the Suleja-Minna road in Niger State, and it looks best in the rainy season when the water is strongest. It sits just outside Abuja, so plan a full day with a private car or an organised tour, and leave early to get soft morning light. Rain also makes roads and rocks slick, so allow extra travel time and wear shoes with grip.
