In detail
Boali Falls have formed on M’Bari River and fall down from a nearly vertical cliff of schist.
Numerous smaller trickles of water fall down along the wide cliff and trees grow among them but in the rainy season the stream becomes powerful and falls are very impressive.
There are built hydroelectric power plants upstreams and downstream from the falls. These plants supply the capital of the country – Bangui – with the electric power. Due to this the stream is scarce in weekdays but on Sundays the dam is opened and falls become more impressive.
