    Nice environment and usually cold at evenings. No security. No rest room. There are restricted areas with danger tapes and ropes. Strictly for nature lovers else you’ll be bored. Never go alone.

    The forest is a picaresque place and nice for spending time with family or friends. Lot of good scenery for photography. The pine leaves that fall on the ground has formed a nice mattress on the ground, you can literally roll on it. Its really a great experience to be inside the forest of dense populated tall pine trees, sadly heavy deforestation is taking place in the area by the local communities *The ngwo cave is roughly 20mins hike from hereπŸ˜‰

    The Ngwo Pine Forest in itself is a tourism destination. Even more, it is the gateway to the breathtaking Ngwo cave and waterfall. You should visit especially if you reside in South Eastern Nigeria...and make sure you take a bath in the spring waters from the cave

    I love it here, this place ought to be made more recreational, and well taken care of. Had to pay these guy #1000 to take me down the hill. I really don’t know what the money was for because I wasn’t given a receipt. But the sight is amazing. Descending the hill was crazy πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ almost collapsed. Enugu state government ought to invest here and make here a tourist attraction center. I would love to come again.

    This is more like a government reserved area because of the uniqueness of the trees there..the forest is located along court avenue down to toscana hotel and Michael Okpara square Enugu..when you want to go for landscape photography and picnic this location is not a bad idea..

    This is a forest with a beautiful canopy coverings of pine trees. It is located in a farming community on the outskirt of Enugu, the capital of Enugu state. The park is free to enter but you would have to negotiate with the locals to take you to the waterfall inside a cave for a fee. You can have picnics at the park with family and friends and it is best to have your mosquito repellent handy. The journey to the caves look scary because there is no defined path but the locals seem to have mastered the way.

    Looking for a perfect place for weekend getaways, picnics and what have you? Here's Ngwo Pine Forest. This forest isn't just a perfect place to sit and enjoy your day with some friends and family, it also hosts aΒ limestoneΒ cave sculpted with a waterfall that forms a shallow pool at the bed of the cave. This location is a perfect place for recreational activities and picnicking. There's a lot of space in this location that two or more events can happen at the same time. You can't wait to get the best of dope pictures from this place.

    This place is a serene park made up of a beautiful stretch of pine trees. It’s preferable for picnics and when you want to clear your head from the bustle of city life.

    I and a couple of young people were looking for a hangout for spot for picnic and someone recommended the Ngwo pine forest and waterfall. The pine forest is quite serene and nice. The locals, once properly settled can serve as security for the tourists ensuring that they are safe while there. There a lot of clearance where tourists can sit and do whatever activities they've planned.

    Ngwo Pine Forest Forest is located in Old Enugu-Onitsha Rd, Ngwo-Asaa, Nigeria. The forest is a treat to watch as it is considered a great scenic beauty. There is a dozen of fascinating caves built from limestone, which are nothing but god gifted to the local people of the region. Ngwo Pine Forest attracts many local as well as international tourists. There is also a pool formed at the base of the caves through the natural waterfall. The tourists come here to enjoy and relax. If you have a hectic schedule and tired of doing a lot of work then you can visit here. It will remove all the stress and make your body super light.

    This pine forest is simply majestic, one of the many tourist attractions in Enugu. Although i wasn't able to tour the whole forest but the parts i visited were magical but the place isn't being taken care of as much as it should because some of the forest tree are being cut down and am afraid if that continues within the next 10 years nothing like Ngwo pine forest will be in existence.

    The place is beautiful and serene. An awesome place for a picnic. There's however no security, or system of maintenance. You'll need to have your personal security and clean up your area after leaving.

  • 3/5 Emeh E. 4 years ago on Google
    It is known as Enugu East Garden Estate, an absolutely beautiful and modern estate built at the former Enugu zoo premises. However, many Enugu citizens have ever wondered why their state , instead of maintaining a zoo, demolished it and built an estate. As the case may be, Zoo estate takes its original name and reminds many of Fela's song "Animals in human skin

    At the moment I believe Zoo estate is the choicest neighborhood in the whole of south eastern Nigeria. It is located at the heart of the Enugu city and it has the Nigerian army as its neighbour. The roads are paved, with constant supply of electricity and clean water. I love this Estate.

    An inviting plantation of Pine Trees, which makes for beautiful pictures, especially towards sunset. No gate, no fence, and no entry fees required. I guess scant attention is paid to the grove as far as maintenance is concerned. The undergrowth of weed needs to be cut, and dumping of refuse in the area should be stopped. The area could be deserted; so having a company is advisable for security purposes

  • 3/5 Pelu A. 3 years ago on Google
    I've known about Ngwo Pine Forest for years and always looked forward to visiting. So while in town on an assignment, my colleagues and I decided to go there. Being there reminded me of a similar umbrella of tall trees at the Jos Wildlife Park (Plateau State). It stretches for as far as the eyes can see, but there is visible evidence of deforestation -- I hope government takes steps to stop that. It would be a terrible loss if all the trees are felled. Being dry season, the forest wasn't as green as I had expected but it was refreshing all the same. An indigene who was with us it's a venue for birthdays and picnics and photo shoots.

    We had gone here for a tour organized by Awele Trips. It was my first time being there and I totally enjoyed the atmosphere. The place was fun. We had fun there, played games, sat on mats, played soccer a bit and went down the waterfall way. It was a nice adventure. I would do this again.

    this place used to be beauty when i was growing up unfortunately today not a lot of the pines are left. you see rows where trees have gone missing and pieces of land that have been turned into farm land. its a pity the state isnt doing anything to maintain this as an attraction. Visitors are helping either as they leave their rubbish in a pile and go Please people respect the Environment

    Good environment for relaxation. A place that carries some historical significance

  • 3/5 Chukwudi N. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice natural environment, neglected and no form of government presence. Good for group picnics and photo shoots. The waterfall is a bit far into the valley, if you must go down to the waterfall be sure your fit enough for the journey back up. Don't stay till night fall. Overall was a nice experience with nature.

  • 5/5 Excel C. N. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mrs. O. 4 years ago on Google
    The hills and forests hold great views in the peaceful area. Well tarred roads lead you up or down the hilly Ngwo area. Your main sources of transportation will mostly be tricycles and commuter buses, as there are no bikes allowed to commute in Enugu. In the city centers, you should be able to get taxis as well. Had an enjoyable stay.

  • 2/5 Ngozi E. 3 years ago on Google
    The forest used to be so beautiful with a thick canopy, now half the tree population has been felled by locals who are gradually converting the land to crop landπŸ™ Something has to be done quickly by the Min of Forestry to save that place.

    Nice forest but it’s horrible to see that Nigerians throw their rubbish everywhere. Nigeria needs to educate its people about waste disposal and implement something to manage waste. Apart from that there is also the waterfall which is a 10 min walk from the forest. You see many fruit trees and crops on the way, which is cool but again there is too much waste being thrown into this beautiful natural area.

  • 3/5 Queen A. 2 years ago on Google
    A part of me is tempted to say "nice forest" but I wont. Lol. It's a lovely place. The view is breathtaking from any side. It's quiet and serene. A couple even did some pre-wedding shoot while I was there. Bad side: deforestation. The trees are gradually disappearing. There is some bush/refuse burning happening every now and then. You may have to give some indigenes money to show you where the cave/waterfall is.
