Kwara's strongest short itinerary combines an easy Ilorin day with one dedicated nature excursion. The two should not be squeezed together as if Owu Falls were an inner-city stop.
More context
Use the capital for culture, food and overnight logistics, then make the waterfall the second-day anchor only when the road and weather are suitable.
