Kwa Falls was such a beautiful experience. I visited while I was in Calabar and I’m honestly glad I made the trip. The place is peaceful, naturally beautiful, and surprisingly underrated. Our tour guide was also really friendly and knowledgeable, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Cross River State
