This place is a scary but awesome place to visit. Getting there should not be much of a hassle since people who live nearby are kind to strangers. Once there, the environment should put you at ease since it's just nature that abounds around. Going down to the cave would have you walking down stairs that numbers 300-plus according to the guide. Getting to the mouth of the cave would be the spot where the fear would start. The mouth of the cave looks scary but hey, I was there for the adventure so I did not mind. The guide gave us some history and we talk a walk/crawl into the cave while making sure we don't get lost in the cave because it had many openings. I could go on and on but I can say this for sure, that's a lovely place to visit especially if you love adenture.

Underneath a valley covered by tropical rain forest lies Ogbunike Caves, a collection of #caves that has #spiritual significance to the locals. Descending 317 steps will take you to the main entrance of the caves. Visitors must take of their shoes before entering and be prepared for the experience of stepping on moist #earth. The main cave consists of a massive area and structure with a big open chamber. At certain parts of this chamber depending on how tall you are you can stand erect. There are different tunnels at the main chamber leading to different directions. The tunnels end up in big chambers and they vary in lengths and some are interconnected. You will find large colonies of #bats and streams in the caves. One stream flows out from one of the tunnels into #River Nkissa There is also a spot beside the river used as a relaxation spot by visitors to the caves. The #rock at the entrance is said to grow so I have taken a picture to mark the level so if do ever comeback I can cross check if the legend holds true

By far the bravest thing i ve ever done! The tunnels in the cave are so small, you ve to crawl through some in them amongst thousands of bats and insects. Its so dark you ve to ve a flash light to see. Its pitch dark inside! It was scary as hell. I could not breathe properly and was sweating buckets. Its not for the faint of heart but its a worthwhile experience. However women on their period are not allowed into d cave, this was the part i didnt like and when i asked why , they said cos its a holy ground, i started to wonder how a woman on her period becomes or is unholy and therefore should not gain access to the cave. Thankfully i was not on my period and im wondering how they would ve known if i was because its not like anyone was checking. In all it was a great but creepy experience. @queenbethia for ig

Lovely place. If it’s your first time going to the cave kindly request for a tour guide. One love ✌️

Good tourist attraction. If you like Adventure, and you like to explore, it is a good place to be. Close to nature, with a lot of history attached to the cave. You will love it.

It will amaze you to see the wonders of nature when you get here but get ready to settle the community boys at the entrance before being granted access. Your pay determines if you’d be given a tour guide or not. More could be done to make this tourist site attract more tourist if it is well developed by the state government. It also has a place where warm and cold river meet.

Okay so this place is a must see. You'll experience all kinds of emotions. Fear, excitement and anxiousness all in one. Get your negotiating skills on too when you get there. You'll meet some gun weilding men when you get there. They are the security guards. We went as a team of 6. They said we're to pay 1000 naira for entrance and another 1000 naira for the tour guide. So that's 2000 naira per person. We'd have paid a total of 12,000 naira but I negotiated and we paid 10,000 naira. I'd advise you go with someone who speaks igbo very well. I wanted to have my prewedding shoot there and the tour guides/security guards said we should have come with a bottle of wine but since we didn't have that, we have to pay 3000 naira "to appease the gods' so we asked for the account number of the gods🤷. We ended up paying 2000 naira to a human instead of the gods. Insist on seeing the bat palor when you visit. Don't let the tour guide use nagging to make you quit the adventure. Our tour guide was Okechukwu or Okey. He kept hurrying us and nagging but we didn't let that deter us. We took the prewedding shots at the cave entrance, went to the ogba river and then went into the cave to experience the adrenaline rush. Okay let me stop writing. If you have further questions, I can answer them if you message me on Instagram - @theonlychioma

What can I say to convince you to go here? It was a magical experience and I highly recommend it.If you love nature, fun and creepy then this beauty is for you. At the entrance we paid two thousand each to access the cave joined by a tour guide who kept on telling us the history about the caves. We had to remove our shoes at the point of entry as the cave is deemed sacred. The inside is very dark, we made use of our phone torchlight in other to see and crawl through the pathways in the caves which comprises of bats, water and muds. The bats are somewhat friendly and scary 😁😁. We came out through an exit hole and accessed the water coming from the caves and a nearby waterfall. The maintenance could be improved The gods should stop eating our money 😂 Road network to the place could be improved The tour guides could be nicer😏 Going in a smaller group is the best Nb: there's a healing water for you there 😚

This is one of the least talked about places in Nigeria. There are at least 297 steps leading to the entrance of the cave. You are required to pay an offering (anything you have) before you enter the cave. This is after you have paid an entrance fee of 3,000 Naira. The cave has 5 sections - 1. Phython section, 2. Roundabout section, 3. Toll gate section, 4. Bat section, 5. Crocodile section. I went in through the bat section and saw a lot of bats. I was not willing to find out if the crocodile and python section had those animals they were named after. You need a torch light as your phone torch may not be so good seeing as the cave is extremely dark. Be sure to wear light clothes that are comfy as you will crawl at some point. From the cave, the tour guides take you to a stream and you can decide to take a swim in it.

The cave in ogbunike is a historical site at the heart of Ogbunike community. In there you see and enjoy the wonders of nature typical of a cave... from one section to the other. There's a stream in the area and interestingly a part of constantly warm and the other cool. I think that the government need to come in to make this site a much if an attractive tourist centre. To have access to the cave, one has to settle the community boys there. If you need a guide, that's an extra pay. The more you pay/tip determines your access and their service. A properly organised job can be done there to raise the standard...

Not so well run but the scenery is lovely if you like that sort of thing. The guides are quite friendly though.

This is a very beautiful place. If you're worried about the entrance fee, I believe it varies, heard someone paid 2k but I paid 4k so I think it has to do with your negotiation skill. So if you're going here, take ogbunike junction, and from the junction you can take a bike going to ogbunike cave. It a really beautiful place to be, the rocks, the waterfall and everything is beautiful.

It is scary but really adventurous. If you are strong and fit, the cave is a place to visit. It is culturally significant to the people of Ogbunike and this is explained by the tour guides who are ever willing to lead you. For cultural reasons, visitors are expected to go round the cave on bare foot. There is spring water that runs through yhe cave and it is home for bats that will welcome you as you are entering the cave. To access the cave, from onitsha, go through onitsha-Awka old road. At Oye Olisa by Ogidi Axis, go through the market into Ogbunike, then ask for direction to the cave.

Very nice place

Best memories ever , 100%

A great tourist destination in Anambra State, historical archive

It was exhausting! You have to be in good health to be able to come here You will sweat ehn! The exercise no be here. Please eat before coming here, you go tire o

Its has thrilling and breathe taking environment.

The cave provides a special experience all together, with the only other location I've seen so many bats being Benin City, as though you're in a vampire movie. At some point shoes are taken off as u climb through only to find bits of water inside. Clean, clear stream which flows through. With processes underway in the cave and biodiversity present. definitely more than a tourist spot but a good spot for learning!

The waterfall were wow!

Good roads leading to the cave

Very exciting place to be in though you need to be mindful of the steps . Had fun though 😊

The caves is a tourist attraction in Ogbunike Anambra state. Bats and waters are some of the features. The caves can be scary for the faint hearted because it is very dark inside and you need bright flashlights. The place requires some maintenance and development to make it more fun.

This is a place you will see the work of nature, it is great sight seeing but a little touch from government will make it world class

Well inside the cave is dark and sandy with water, there is lots of bats and spider. There is also a stream at d other side of d cave

Awesome

If you want to have an epic experience give a tour to ogbunike cave a try:). I enjoyed my trip to this place and I was not disappointed with my experience.

It could be nice if it was clean and the guide more professional. It doesn't look like the money you pay at the entrance goes really to the local community. Moreover its no easy to reach the place because no proper sign board

It's a wonderful place for tourism.

Awful, the guide only wants to exploit visitors.

Fun place to visit

There is need for improvement on the side of the management

I was able to see the care for myself and I sure light the cave

Beautiful tourist attraction

Love the seen and the evidence of ancient civilization. The creativity is superb

This was a scary and equally amazing experience. The roads were good. The tour guides were very polite and laid back. I loved it!!! Didn't go to see the crocodiles or snakes though (I am not that brave😂 ).

Best place to take your family and love one for fun adventure. Do not miss visiting this beautiful gift of nature! You will need torchlight!

Hi guys please i am looking forward to experience the Ogbunike cave, please anyone with any meaningful details, should please reach out i would really appreciate. IG: @Fowosiredamilola

This so cool

Ogbunike cave is a place to visit, located in Anambra State, Nigeria. Its an ancestral place of refuge and a holy ground of the Igbo traditional worshipers in the Eastern Nigeria. It was awesome, seeing the cave bats, the cold and warm water (cave water and the ogba river meeting point). The navigation of the cave through narrow cavities is epic and memorable. Visit Ogbunike cave today and have fun.

The kids enjoyed the adventures of nature.... at first I was scared but the kids Motivated me..... but we could not exploit much as they said just because of the kids... nice being there

It was fun filled

Scary and adventurous place!

Amazing place! Called ogbunike cave.. this cave pays safety during civil war in Nigeria.. so I choose to visit here for future safety from bombing... Becarefull as u visit some ancient antics scary ferry home..

I was there a couple of days ago...its accessible but not for the faint at heart. Its physically tasking. Also if you're fat it may be difficult to manover some tight spots. Regarding pricing, If you're an indigene of the area its free but we were charged 1,000 per head. I guess if its a group, the rates can be negotiated. Certain rules like no shoes, no women on their period apply. At some point during the tour the guide still taxed us saying if we don't pay we will be abandoned there. We were scared and not being familiar with the area we had to pay, It was sad. An extra 1k was paid during the ordeal. It's a shame such things happen. They have armed vigilante on ground, I don't know if that makes it safer 🤷🏾‍♀️ But its always good to go in a large group. The access could be better with better signage, lighting and better maintenance culture ( but I guess that's the overall problem of Nigeria 😊)

A good tourist center in eastern part of Nigeria

A lovely place if you have the mind. Pay attention to all rules at the entrance. Ensure you don't go alone cause it can be really scary. They usually about 1000 naira for the upkeep of the place. Then you pay the tour guide. Ensure that you carry your own flash light because your phone light won't do any justice to the kind of darkness you would face. Ask alot of questions from your tour guide and seek as much information about the place. You might be frightened by the tour guide shouting the cave spirit's name just try to keep your calm. I wouldn't advise this place if you are claustrophobic because there are lots of closed spaces.

The beauty of nature

Tourist spot near my work place, St. Monica's college Ogbunike

Nature is beautiful

It is Recreational center where you can feed your eyes with wonderfully created land topography that has internal holes that you can move in from one place to the other.

It's still cool to see the cave. But going inside the dark cave was a no. The guard was charging high to take us in there. The place is scary anyways.

Lots of people, good picture environment. If u are looking for a bit of out door thrill try going through the underground caves. Although I wouldn't recommend it for people who are claustrophobic.

Wow, every Nigerian should see the ogbunike caves.

Nice place for exploration

The place is very beautiful from the spring water, to the mountain, to the river, to the cave and lot more. If you are a lover of nature and history, then you have to visit there.

The location still retain its local and indigenous attributes.

Fun

Has this mysterious feel to it.

Very nice but the roads are not good

Nature at its peak

Serenity of nature.

It was an awesome experience

Place u can have a wonderful sleep

Ogbunike cave is a creature nature designed for adventure, if you have not been to the cave you are missing out.
