    The best place to connect with nature, where the sound of a waterfall brings instant calm.

    I like how the view hits you once you approach the viewing platform. The steep drop and the waterfall to the right pulls you right in! You can also walk down to the falls for an upclose. It is even more magnificent! You are prompted to pay at the entrance (to the right) either cash or Mpesa. I paid Kes.100 Best to visit when the sun is high up (noon - 4pm) However, there are some photographers and guys donned in traditional attire flocking you for photography which is pesky. I found a sole photographer on the side and had them take pictures of me.

    Beautiful falls. 500 Schillings adult admission for non residents. We didn't do the climb down to the bottom. Heard it is somewhat treacherous. But you can see the falls as soon as you pay the admission.
