Fourteen Falls Lodge — Hotel in Ngoliba ward

These falls are located in Thika about one-hour drive from Nairobi or if you have a heavy foot you could (maybe) do under one hour. The only huge limitation that I saw around the falls was that litter was (floating) all over. It’s really a shame especially to the people who go there, litter and then leave. Much as there is an entry fee, I don't think there's proper maintenance as far as the service(fee) is concerned. { the mismanagement of this area is the reason why I'm giving it a low rating, despite it being an overly awesome 360 panoramic nature view.} But nonetheless we are supposed to be friendly to the environment and restore the glory that came with the roar of the falls and submerged rocks with clear water.

There are locals who are on standby to help you cross the river or by boat (much as they may sound genuine and helpful, my experience is just avoid them, this is another avenue to fleece your cash with an exorbitant unnecessary "guide fee”). On second thoughts, actually, you can follow your instincts if you feel unsafe to cross, pay them. Alternatively, if you are the daring one (like I was with my companions) you can do it on your own. On a lucky day you may meet divers and other people fishing around, as well as jumping from high cliffs, approximately 30 meters high!

Moreover, Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park will not only offer you camping experience but also great views of Mt Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Historians will remind you that the graves of Sir William Northrop Macmillan (1872-1925) and his wife Lady Lucie lie near the summit (we did not proceed there since our curiosity was just to the falls). And that, Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States (1901- 1909), stayed at Juja in 1909 while on...

I visited fourteen falls on Sunday October 4th for a picnic with my girlfriend. We boarded a bus from Nairobi to Thika town where we too fourteen sitter matatu to Oldonyo Sabuk. We alighted and walked about a kilometer to the gates. Since we are local tourists, we were charged only Ksh 100 for entrance.

From the gates we would hear the roaring sound of the waterfall. We were excited. When we reached the scene, It was an amazing scenery. we took a lot of photos there, to take a photo from the photo-men there costs around ksh 50 per photo but it could be more for an international tourist. The photos are printed instant.

While at the riverside near the waterfall, you may want to cross the river to have a better view of thee waterfall. The crossing attract an additional costs. There are two ways to cross, you can cross using a boat on the lower side of the waterfall or pay a local to help you cross by foot.

I crossed by foot and i am telling you it was a delicate experience, This is what is entails, the local guide holds your hand as you carefully step and slide your feet across the slippery rocks. Any mistake will make you fall down and if the guide is not strong enough to hold your hand, you may end up falling down the waterfall.

Fourteen falls is one place you want to visit. It is an...

Visiting this place with my family was quite memorable, exciting and ecstatic. Albeit the water level being low and smelly due to affluents from upstream, it was an amazing experience. It is quite easy to cruise across the river using tour guide boat. For Locals, they charge Ksh. 300 (USD 3) for adult and Ksh. 100 (USD 1) for children.

At the gate Locals are charged Ksh. 100 (USD 1) for adults and Ksh. 50 (USD 0.5) for kids. To view the waterfalls at close range, you need to remove the shoes and walk across the river with help of tour guide. This is risky especially when water level is high. As well, you can easily slide and fall since the rocks are slippery. Another option is to use a boat.

The scenery/site looks quite amazing but has alot of waste materials and often smelly when the water...
