Thomson’s Falls

Thomson’s Falls, in Nyahururu, Kenya, is raw hydraulics: the kind of place you hear before you see. It makes a dramatic half-day between parks, and photographers should plan to get comfortably wet.

It sits within one of Africa's great travel countries — Kenya: The original safari, still magnificent. Most travelers weave Thomson’s Falls into a longer route taking in Masai Mara, Amboseli elephants and Rift Valley lakes.

The operators on SafariSuite run Thomson’s Falls regularly and price it from their live rate sheets — park fees, seasonal lodge rates and transfers included — so any itinerary you see here reflects what the trip actually costs.
