The road to the waterfall is not in the best condition but manageable.. bring along change of clothing if you will get in the water. Wear comfortable hiking shoes especially if you plan to get to the top of the mountain. Entry ticket is Naira 2k and you pay separately for a tour guide (optional but recommended). Enjoy the nature
