Fourteen falls is an hour distance from the Nairobi city on a traffic less day. One fine Sunday we took a trip to fourteen falls for half a day. From the city we took the Thika road highway to reach here. River Athi falls as fourteen falls at a broad plateau hence the name. On reaching Makutano junction we had to turn to a rough road to reach the falls.

The entrance fee is quite costly, its $10 per head for non-residents, we felt it costly for this sight we felt at the end of the trip. The parking space is huge and one can see the river flowing before you while parking. Its a rocking land before we go for the river and the falls. The river flows smoothly while the falls make a rushing sound.
The sight is thronged in huge number by locals and foreigners. On can also get into boats here, rowed manually by a boatman. Also visitors can indulge themselves in fishing and bird watching. Few kilometers away and above from this spot one can get to the area near the waterfall.
Can't rejoice the waterfall much as the water is getting spoilt. Hope environmentalists take the necessary action to restore the original beauty.
