Upper & Lower Adom Waterfalls

Adom Waterfalls is divided into two sections, both safe for swimming:

Upper Falls
• Smaller in size
• Features water gently cascading down rocky surfaces
• Ideal for relaxing, photos, and enjoying the cool breeze

Lower Falls (The “Jacuzzi”)
• Accessed by descending about 90 stone staircases, built by the ancestors of the community
• Larger pool and more immersive
• Slightly slippery due to rocks, but refreshing and rewarding

Both sections offer unique experiences and stunning views.



Swimming, Views & Canopy Walkway

Visitors can swim safely in both parts of the waterfall while enjoying the surrounding forest scenery. The community has also built a canopy walkway (currently under construction), which will soon add another exciting layer to the experience alongside hiking and swimming.

The views at Adom Waterfalls are truly breathtaking, making it a favorite for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers.



Cultural & Historical Significance

Adom Waterfalls was discovered by hunters from Bosomase village and later became an important spiritual center for warriors. In the past, warriors visited the falls to consult their gods for protection, strength, and success before battles.

The staircases leading to the lower falls were constructed by the ancestors, showcasing the community’s deep historical connection to the site.



Best Time to Visit Adom Waterfalls

The best time to visit is during the rainy season, when the water flow is stronger and more dramatic. During this period, the waterfall is at its most powerful and visually stunning.

However, the site remains accessible year-round for visitors who prefer a calmer flow.
