Matsirga Waterfalls, Madakiya

Nigeria



The Matsirga Waterfalls cascade from a face of sheer rock through four natural funnels. It's 25 meters tall and falls into a large plunge pool at the bottom. Locals refer to the stream that feeds into the falls as 'the River Wonderful'.

It is an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is both tranquil and breathtaking; if you are lucky you will catch one of the mysteriously rainbows which appear in the waterfalls spray. It is a bird watchers paradise as several parrots and finches inhabit the neighbouring trees.

Madakiya is is about 227 kilometres south of Kaduna and closely situated to Kafanchan. The falls take their source from springs in the Kagoro Hills.
