Overview

About this tour

1 Day Fourteen Falls Day Trip from Nairobi

At Fourteen Falls near Thika, the Athi River drops about 27 metres over a wide rock face that splits the water into a row of separate cascades, which gives the falls their name. They are at their loudest after the rains and much thinner in dry spells.

Local boatmen can take you towards the base of the falls, and the surrounding area is good for walking and birdwatching, with Ol Donyo Sabuk rising behind. It is about an hour and a half from Nairobi and one of the easiest affordable day trips from the city. Entrance fees, transfers, drinking water and a guide are included. See more Nairobi day trips.

Day by day

Detailed itinerary

Your driver-guide collects you from your hotel after breakfast and heads north on the Thika superhighway, roughly an hour and a half, through the coffee and pineapple country around Thika to the falls on the Athi River.

Time at the falls themselves, where the river spreads across a wide rock shelf and drops in a series of cascades. You can walk the viewpoints along the bank, and local boat operators offer short runs towards the base at additional cost. The birdwatching around the site is good, with Ol Donyo Sabuk rising behind you.

After time for photographs and a picnic lunch if one has been arranged, you are driven back to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon.
