This is a very beautiful place. If you're worried about the entrance fee, I believe it varies, heard someone paid 2k but I paid 4k so I think it has to do with your negotiation skill. So if you're going here, take ogbunike junction, and from the junction you can take a bike going to ogbunike cave. It a really beautiful place to be, the rocks, the waterfall and everything is beautiful.

It will amaze you to see the wonders of nature when you get here but get ready to settle the community boys at the entrance before being granted access. Your pay determines if you’d be given a tour guide or not. More could be done to make this tourist site attract more tourist if it is well developed by the state government. It also has a place where warm and cold river meet.

What can I say to convince you to go here? It was a magical experience and I highly recommend it.If you love nature, fun and creepy then this beauty is for you. At the entrance we paid two thousand each to access the cave joined by a tour guide who kept on telling us the history about the caves. We had to remove our shoes at the point of entry as the cave is deemed sacred. The inside is very dark, we made use of our phone torchlight in other to see and crawl through the pathways in the caves which comprises of bats, water and muds. The bats are somewhat friendly and scary 😁😁. We came out through an exit hole and accessed the water coming from the caves and a nearby waterfall. The maintenance could be improved The gods should stop eating our money 😂 Road network to the place could be improved The tour guides could be nicer😏 Going in a smaller group is the best Nb: there's a healing water for you there 😚

This place is a scary but awesome place to visit. Getting there should not be much of a hassle since people who live nearby are kind to strangers. Once there, the environment should put you at ease since it's just nature that abounds around. Going down to the cave would have you walking down stairs that numbers 300-plus according to the guide. Getting to the mouth of the cave would be the spot where the fear would start. The mouth of the cave looks scary but hey, I was there for the adventure so I did not mind. The guide gave us some history and we talk a walk/crawl into the cave while making sure we don't get lost in the cave because it had many openings. I could go on and on but I can say this for sure, that's a lovely place to visit especially if you love adenture.
