The Ogbunike Caves

Igbah Eleojo Ruth u14mn1078

The Ogbunike Caves are located in Ogbunike, Anambra State , south east

Located in a valley blanketed by tropical rain forest , the collection of caves has been in use over centuries by local people for whom it has particular spiritual significance. This spiritual significance is still apparent, as the "Ime Ogbe" celebration is undertaken every year to commemorate the discovery of the caves.

Ogbunike Caves discovered by a hunter called ukwa are situated in a valley with tropical rain forest behind the "Ogba" hills in which lies St. Monica College, Ogbunike. Descending into the valley where the caves are located is a lengthy walkway made up of about 317 steps said to have been constructed by the Anambra State Government in the mid 90s. At the end of the walkway is an open space used as a reception point where visitors are by tradition to remove their shoes.
