Farin Ruwa Falls, Waterfall in Wamba, Nigeria
Farin Ruwa Falls drops water from a height of 150 meters, creating a white cascade visible against the rocky cliffs of Nasarawa State.
British colonial administrators established a catering rest house near the falls in 1950 to promote commercial tourism in the Massange village region.
The Kulere speaking community named the falls 'Farin Ruwa', which translates to 'white water' in the Hausa language of northern Nigeria.
Visitors need to travel 120 kilometers from Lafia city through rural roads and wooden bridges to reach the falls in the Wamba Local Government Area.
The waterfall maintains a constant flow from March to November, with water volume increasing during the rainy season in the mountainous terrain.
