Ikogosi Water Fall

This warm spring runs down a hilly landscape where it forms a confluence with another cold spring from an adjoining hill and merges into one continuous stream.

Located in Ekiti State, it is an awe inspiring sight where two springs flow side by side (Hot and cold water).

The undulating landscape adds natural beauty to the scenery. The chemistry of the Ikogosi warm spring in south west Nigeria has been studied and all measures used are within classification as fresh water and WHO standards.

The evergreen tall trees which surrounds the spring provide the canopy under which visitors relax. The people of Ikogosi worship the Goddess of the water and have strong believe in the myth around it.

A British clergy who lived in Nigeria for thirty years - Rt Rev Richard Burke expressed thus " I believe there is nowhere in the world where cold and warm water meets, except at the Ikogosi water spring here in Nigeria. Any other one would be man-made which is artificial. Ikogosi is a miracle of nature and a sacred place where God exhibited his power of creativity"

At the Warm Spring resort center, there are modern facilities which could interest tourists to repeat their visit time without number. There are many tastefully furnished charlets and 8 cabins for students on excursions. The chalets are well kept and maintained by trained and qualified staff.

The chalet forms small letter 'd' from aerial view.
