Boali Falls

Boali Falls belong to the best known landmarks in Central African Republic. This impressive waterfall is some 50 m high and 250 m wide.

Boali Falls have formed on M’Bari River and fall down from a nearly vertical cliff of schist.

Numerous smaller trickles of water fall down along the wide cliff and trees grow among them but in the rainy season the stream becomes powerful and falls are very impressive.

There are built hydroelectric power plants upstreams and downstreams from the falls. These plants supply the capital of the country – Bangui – with electric power. Due to this the stream is scarce in weekdays but in Sundays the dam is opened and falls become more impressive.

Small cluster of tourist industry operates here – near the top of falls is located hotel and restaurant. There is built small platform and steps to provide better view of falls, small fee should be paid for visit.

Landmarks of Central African Republic

The enormous Central African Republic most certainly keeps many secrets which still need to be discovered. Country is very diverse – here is dormant rainforest with pygmies, savannah, granitic inselbergs and mighty rivers. Known landmarks include beautiful waterfalls, megalithic monuments and diverse cliff art.

Waterfalls and rapids

Some of the most fascinating and awe inspiring natural monuments are waterfalls, or locations where a river abruptly changes its elevation.
