This Is Fourteen Falls A Tourist Site In Thika County


This Is  Fourteen Falls A Tourist Site In Thika County

Fourteen falls is located about 65 km away from Nairobi off Thika - Garissa Road turning at Makutano junction. The falls derive the name from their fourteen successive falls of water along the famous Athi River, border between Thika and Machakos districts.

 There is a lot to see and do while in this scenic site – boating, fishing, photography, plant identification and bird watching among other activities. Nearby the falls lies Kilimabogo, a Kiswahili word for the Mountain of the Buffalo and home to the late Great Philanthropist Sir Macmillan.

 Half way the hill lie his grave, that of his wife and their house helper. It is on the foot of this hill that Macmillan entertained Roosevelt and Churchill when they paid him a courtesy call. In the hill you will spot birds, buffalo, baboons, and other animals.
