Local nameThomson's Falls
LocationNyahururu, Kenya

Nyahururu Falls is a 74 metres waterfall on the Ewaso Ng'iro river in Central Rift Valley Kenya, a few kilometres from Lake Ol Bolossat, which drains from the Aberdare Range. It is situated 3 kilometres from the town of Nyahururu, at 2,360 metres elevation. In 1883 Joseph Thomson was the first European to reach Thomson Falls, and named them for his father. Thomson wrote:

I was impressed mightily by the stupendous thundering of the waters which in magnificent mass plunged down several hundred feet into a fearful gloomy gorge. ... The crevices give support to a splendid drapery of creepers and bushes, the spray from the waters yielding the necessary sustenance. Among other plants wild bananas are to be seen.
