Matsirga waterfalls, Natural waterfall in Zangon Kataf, Nigeria.
The water drops 30 meters through four natural funnels off a rock cliff, creating pools at the base of the falls.
The waterfall sits near Madakiya village, which experienced significant changes following the events of 2011 that affected the local community.
Local inhabitants name the stream feeding the falls 'River Wonderful', reflecting the water's importance in Fantswam chiefdom traditions.
Visitors can reach the falls via the Kafanchan-Madakiya-Zonkwa-Kaduna highway, located 227 kilometers south of Kaduna city.
The waterfall creates natural rainbow formations on certain Sundays, while occasional mist rises from the collection pool below.
