Waterfalls in Taita Taveta

Lugard’s Falls, Tsavo East National Park

From Manyani Gate a second road, C103, cuts across Tsavo East Park west-to-east to Sala Gate. It is 98 km from Manyani to Sala Gate and a further 107 km to Malindi. The road follows the south bank of the Galana through Lugard’s Fall, 13 km downstream past Galdessa Camp. Set in the muted backwoods, the roar of Galana River as it rushes over the bizarrely abraded rocks and tapered clefts is a mythic incantation of nature’s enduring force, which, over millennia, has carved out of the river bed the great monument along this section of the river. The main activity here is to explore the rapids from as many vantages, with two permitted crossing points. Also notable from here is the shimmering of Yatta Plateau which forms a fitting backdrop. A word of caution is necessary here: The rocks around Lugard’s Falls are slippery and the current of this croc infested river formidable.
