Why visit Boali Falls
Boali Falls is the most iconic and simplest outing from Bangui: a 55-meter waterfall on the Mbali River, reachable via a fully paved road in about 90 minutes. It's the ideal excursion for a first trip outside the capital, with family or friends.
💧 The site draws about 50,000 visitors a year — the waterfall is
especially impressive at the end of the rainy season (September-October),
when the Mbali River's flow is at its peak.
What awaits you
- Boali Falls — 55 meters high, several viewpoints accessible on foot
- Caiman Lake — a neighboring natural lake, a historic site from the Bokassa era
- Boali Market — an optional stop in the town of Boali, capital of the Ombella-M'Poko prefecture
- Overnight stay (optional) — to enjoy the site early in the morning, before the groups arrive
Practical information
The trip is entirely by road from Bangui, in a private vehicle. It's the simplest excursion to organize in the country — accessible year-round, with no special permit required.
🌦️ Season: the falls can be visited year-round. The flow is
most impressive at the end of the rainy season (September-October); the dry season
offers more comfortable access.
