ARUU FALLS IN UGANDA

ARUU FALLS IN UGANDA

ARUU  FALLS  IN  UGANDA 

The Aruu Falls in Uganda are situated along the Gulu Kitgum highway in the Pader district in the country's north. The Gulu highway takes between 4 to 6 hours to go from Kampala to the falls, which are roughly 386 kilometers from Kampala, the capital of Uganda, 47 kilometers from Gulu, and 57 kilometers from Kigtum.

 

One of the most fascinating waterfalls to see is the Aruu Falls in Uganda, which are tumbling streams of thundering waterfalls that provide an exhilarating, memorable, and daring experience. A Uganda safari to Kidepo Valley National Park must include a visit to the waterfalls for a magnificent experience. The beautiful falls appear amazing from the bottom as the water cascades over the rocks. The people that live near the Aruu Falls are primarily Langi or Acholis, and the falls are situated in the Acholi-Lango area. There are farms in the neighborhoods surrounding the waterfalls, and these folks are also farmers. 

 

The Aruu Falls in Uganda are composed of multiple streams that cascade with a thunderous sound and create an incredibly beautiful and unparalleled scene. Seven rocks—Ryanga, Awilo Yaa, Akweyo, Wang Okiye, Lacee, Okello Gem, and Lanya Kweyo—are the source of the falls' numerous streams. The water flows gently downstream from the river Agago because of the angular rocks' step-like structure.

 

why visit Aruu falls

Even though they are not well known, Uganda's Aruu Falls are a great destination; they are thrilling, daring, and soothing. The falls are among the country's best-kept secrets, and tourists are amazed by their beauty. Most tourists to the falls take part in a variety of water activities and hike across rocky terrain to reach the top of the falls.

 

As you stroll around the breathtaking Aruu Falls, you'll notice how each area of the waterfall gets better. These waterfalls are only appropriate for a day trip. You swim at your own risk even though the water seems safe enough. But visitors to Aruu Falls should be aware that the rocks are treacherous as they descend, and they should be ready to take off their shoes and go barefoot over the river. Once more, if you must bring phones and cameras, it is essential to use caution. Very young children, the elderly, and people with disabilities should not participate in this activity.

 

ATTRACTIONS IN ARUU FALLS

 

Discover the Aruu Waterfall;

Waterfall viewing, the most basic and popular pastime, is standing at key locations along the waterfalls to observe their beauty, sound, and flow as they tumble over the rocks downstream. Even though it can seem like a small pastime, people typically spend an hour or so admiring the beauty of these picturesque waterfalls.

Nature Walks accompanied by Community Visits;

You can also take guided nature and community walks while visiting Aruu Falls in Uganda to have a better understanding of the local population and environment. While the community walks are held in neighboring communities, the nature walks are held in a section of the forest. In addition to seeing some birds, butterflies, and other forest animals, the nature walks will allow you to enjoy the different tree species that can be found in the forests. 

You can engage with the villagers who live close to the falls and take part in customary and communal activities like gathering and storing food during community walks. You can stop by the neighborhood market for fresh food while strolling through the neighborhood.

Visit the local market;

Fresh produce from surrounding farms can be purchased at the local market. You can buy fresh fruits including watermelons, passion fruits, mangoes, and many more while they're in season. Additionally, this is the place to go if you want to purchase a keepsake, such some homemade artwork.


Swimming;

You can swim in the pool where some of the water accumulates below the waterfalls, but the place's administration cautions that only experienced swimmers should do so because of the area's rough terrain.

Photography;

Some tourists go to the falls as part of a Uganda tour to the northern area, where they can shoot pictures and films against the waterfall's distinctive and lovely backdrops, which provide the ideal view of the waterfalls and the natural world.
