Party Buru
Party Buru is a scenic hilltop and riverside location situated along the banks of the Karo River. The name "Buru" in the local Ho language means "mountain," and this spot offers a commanding view of the river winding through the hilly terrain. It is located near the mining towns of Gua and Jamda, s erving as a vital recreational spot for the local community. The Karo River here is known for its clear water and rocky bed, which creates several small natural rapids. The climb to the top of the "Buru" provides a bird's-eye view of the vast iron ore mines and the surrounding forest canopy. It is a place of contrast, where the industrial mining landscape meets the ancient beauty of the Saranda forest. During the winter months, the river banks are filled with groups celebrating and enjoying outdoor meals. The area is also culturally significant to the local tribes, who consider the river and the hills as sacred parts of their ancestral land.
