Waterfalls in Nyandarua
Wanjohi Falls: Hidden and Untravelled
Like Kenungu Falls above it, Wanjohi Falls is small, hidden and untravelled at the slopes of Aberdare Range deep within the forest reserve. It is also plunge falls, cascading freely from a height of about 50 feet with little to no contact with the rock face. The water crashes into a small pool below within a cauldron valley that requires some finnicky walking and scrambling to get to. Wanjohi Falls is also the result of steep terrain and the resulting significant changes in elevation, creating abrupt bluffs and cliffs. Approaching the falls, requiring some scrambling, is often treacherous during the rain season. Getting to rock pool below is equally finicky.
Touring waterfalls in Kenya offers a refreshing and adventurous experience, showcasing the country’s stunning natural beauty. Each waterfall – many still little known – provides a unique and memorable experience, whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or simply the opportunity to connect with nature

Greatly positioned as an agrarian hub, with increased investment in infrastructure, Nyandarua County is also famous for its scenic landscapes and montane climate. Named after the Aberdare Ranges, with an extensive presence, Nyandarua grew as an agribusiness locale but is well making a name for itself as an alpine escape.
