Abstract: In the recent decades, tourism development has expanded. Natural beauty, the climate, the culture and the history of a given place have often led to this tourism expansion. One is always quick to point at Ogbunike cave when it comes to caves in Anambra State. But there are other caves, known and unknown. These include Ajalli cave and Owerre Ezukalla cave in Orumba North Local Government Areas of the state. But hardly does anybody mention Ufuma cave. We have decided to take an ethnographic study of this cave and what it offers to the tourism profile of the state. The general relevance of caves to tourism development will be underscored and some proposals made as to how to harness it to boost nature tourism and general tourism development.
