Thomson's(Nyahururu) Falls - Simple but Majestic


Thomson's Falls is a beautiful waterfall at the Ewaso Nyiro River which drains from the Aberdare Mountain Range in Central Kenya. The waterfall is 74 meters (243 feet) high. It is situated near the town Nyahururu in central Kenya; one of the biggest hippo pools of Kenya is located upstream from the falls. It’s possible to view the falls from above, and there’s also a trail down to the bottom of the ravine.

The Thomson’s fall gets its name from Joseph Thomson, a naturalist and geologist from Scotland who discovered it in 1887 when he walked all the way from Mombasa to Lake Victoria.

If you travel from the dust bowl of Nakuru it’s a joy to see the ever changing landscape and vegetation. Tea and coffee plantations merge with the lush forests, colours of Africa fight for attention in your head, around every corner there is another view which makes you want to stop and enjoy.
