Chutes de Boali, 250-meter-wide waterfall in Ombella-M'Poko Prefecture, Central African Republic.
Description
Boali Falls is a 250-meter-wide waterfall on the M'Bari River that cascades over a 50-meter vertical cliff of schist rock. The water forms a substantial curtain and shapes the landscape of this region.
History
Two hydroelectric plants were built near the falls in the mid-20th century and have supplied power to Bangui and surrounding towns ever since. The project connected this natural site to the region's electrical needs.
Culture
The waterfall draws people from surrounding communities who gather here and carry on their daily practices in the area. Visitors can observe how the location functions as a meeting place in the rhythm of local life.
Practical
