Fourteen Falls Thika 1 Day Tour from Nairobi is an interesting day trip to see the scenic 14 falls created by the Athi River. Other activities include boating, fishing, photography, plant identification, and bird watching. The tour departs from Nairobi. You drive north some 45 km from the city center to arrive at the Blue Posts Hotel in Thika (established in 1908 as a stopover for white settlers who farmed and lived in central Kenya).

Here at the Blue Post Hotel, we visit the Thika Falls and Chania Falls. This fall is created by two rivers (Thika and Chania) that converge at this spot. You will take a short nature trail to the waterfalls. After taking photos we depart for Fourteen Falls located 15 km along Thika/ Garissa Road.  The falls overlook the famous Kilimambogo Hill which is visible from all the areas along the Thika Super Highway. The Falls are near the border between Thika and Machakos Districts.

The fast-flowing water pounds more than 25 meters into the large pool at the base of the fall. The loud thundering sound is heard kilometers away which makes the experience unforgettable. Fourteen Falls is surrounded by beautiful scenery of plants and vegetation.  You may spend a couple of hours strolling around the rocks at the base of the Falls and enjoy the fresh air, breathtaking view, and local flora. The base of the Falls is characterized by large boulders and the powerful sound of rushing water as it cascades down the 25-foot drop.

Thika town is only 40 km away from Nairobi, it’s famous for its vast pineapple plantations. Thika has a population of 90,000 and is growing rapidly, like the entire greater Nairobi area. The elevation of Thika is 1531 meters (5026 feet) in altitude.

The town has a railway station, but there is only limited passenger service. The town is the headquarters of the Thika District. The district is the prime pineapple-growing region in Kenya. Thika was formerly a center for light industry, but the focus has shifted to the Athi River.

Thika is externally serviced by a dual carriageway to Nairobi, a highway to Garissa, and also a railway line. Internally, the town has a well-maintained road network. The economic activities of the town include agriculture, particularly in the horticulture (exports mainly to Europe) and coffee industry (exports mainly to the USA and Europe).

Other industries include textile (cotton), food processing (pineapples, macadamia nuts, and wheat), tannery, motor vehicle assemblies, and cigarette manufacturing. About one hundred small-scale industries and about twenty major factories exist in and around the town.

The decline of the textile industry has hit local firms, including Thika Cloth Mills (TCM), which is a cotton to fabric manufacturer that competes against Egyptian & Chinese manufacturers. Thika is close to “Fourteen Falls” which is a popular picnic site.

Thika is home to the Chania Falls and the Thika Falls, while Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park lies to its southeast.
