Why You Ought to Visit Aruu Waterfalls

Aruu Falls, one of the most picturesque spots in the region, is located in Northern Uganda’s Pader District’s Lupaya Village, Angangura Sub County. They are around 4.5 kilometers away from the Gulu-Kitgum Highway. The breathtaking Aruu Falls is one of the area’s hidden jewels that is definitely worth seeing. Activities that entice people to this region include swimming, rock climbing, hiking, camping, picnics, photography, and bird watching. The Acholi and Langi tribes inhabit the vicinity of the waterfalls in the middle of a forest. They are mainly agrarian tribes.

The best time to see these falls with Alpha Rent a Car is during the dry seasons of January to February and June to July, when the water levels are lower and you can cross several waterways while taking a nature walk down to the stream.

The falls are created by a significant amount of water that cascades down the stream through a forest. Just like your fingers, they extend out over a multitude of rocks to form various pathways. Oh what a magnificent sight it is, as the massive volumes of water crash on the countless boulders, creating a hazy fog around the falls. Mother Nature structured the slippery cascading rocks as a series of steps. 

Your best option if you want to see the falls while traveling to Kidepo Valley National Park is Alpha Rent a Car.
