    A nice place to see, we took the guides to cross to the other side and it was an adventure, when you reach other side, you can go for some rocks climbing and also a boat ride to the base of waterfalls. Altogether, it was a nice experience except forthe entry fee where we had to pay as non residents, and it was not quite clear why!

    An underutilized attraction right on the border between Kiambu and Machakos counties in Kilimambogo area.... I say underutilized because the potential of this magnificent resource on Athi River (one of Kenya's biggest rivers) is huge... I was indeed surprised that there are not many visitors to the 14 falls despite it's beauty, and fairly accessible location....it's just about 20 kilometers from Thika Town... Okay, you can still enjoy a variety of activities from just sitting there on the 'shores' of the River, admiring the beauty that the falls serve as water drops downwards while making a mix of sounds that can sound therapeutic to rock climbing and riding a boat across the river and to fishing (once you move to the other side) so yes, it's worth a visit. It can also be a scenic location if you're into content production (even music videos shooting). And there are guides too..and divers (pay to watch them dive) and photographers ..none is expensive... But overall, I feel that there is a lot more that could be offered here so perhaps the people running it should look into ideas like offering Kayaking and other water sports.... Also a good eatery is needed. Then the river is dirty upstream...it appears it carries a lot of rubbish from areas it passes through...I don't know why they can't clean it once it comes in.... Noted that we paid Kshs.100 per person at the gate ..also for the car you pay Kshs.100...for camera the fee is Kshs.500..

    I was very disappointed upon seeing the state of the falls, it was smelly and full of dirt. I don't know why they charge and they can't keep the place a bit better.

    Crossing the river is thrilling and a bit scary(slippery rocks, deep areas, etc). Nevertheless, this place needs a facelift and proper management. e.g. If it would be converted into a green park. The Ministry of Tourism should consider rehabilitating this place because it is a popular attraction site.

    It's a beautiful scenery , great place to unwind and have extreme adrenaline rush especially when you cross the river on foot. Though beware of the management it's Abit loose and extortion from guides , there's no regulations. The river has collected waste and some scenes ain't as pleasing, waaah kiambu county government please!!! But overally, a worthwhile destination.

    A nice public facility, you'll pay 100kes adult , 50 kids to enter. Boat is 300kes adults n 200 kids to cross to n from the island. County govt should however invest in proper boats and also clean the river off garbage πŸ—‘οΈ

    This is yet another perfect get away from the city busy life. Located about 15kilometers away from Thika town off Thika-Garissa Road, the 14 Falls offers a magical experience of nature at its best. You not only get to experience the Falls tailored beautiful on the Athi River, Mt. Kilimambogo will also wink at you from a distance. The rates are also friendly both to the nationals and foreigners so you have no excuse not to visit thus beautiful place! A polite reminder though, please mind your thrash while at it. Thank you!

    Exciting adventure activities. The view is breath taking. Tour guides need some training on how to handle tourists. The river is dirty too, lots of trash.

    So disappointed.. the amount of trash at the falls 😀 the county of Kiambu expects a fee on entry however no receipt was issued made me wonder πŸ₯Ί why can’t they maintain the space for the public if they demand the fee 🀯

    The place is disorganized 😑, a little bit expensive. Like ksh500 per activity (either crossing by foot, or by boat etc) . Though its an interesting place if those responsible amend some of the things.

    Amazing place to see the wide Athi River in fourteen falls. Great experience, with some waterboats to cross although very risky. Visited when the water levels were low, thus could adventure in the rocks..

    A serene place in a arid area. Good interaction with locals and good view of Mt kilimambogo. Plastic waste from upriver polluting the environment and river. Water hyacinth eating up the river

    I do not recommend this adventure tour at all. It was a nightmare from start to finish. The guides pretended to be friendly and helpful, but they were actually trying to rip us off. They took us to places that were not part of the itinerary, and then demanded extra money for their services. They also threatened us to pay them I refused to pay but we had to part away with some money. I felt unsafe and cheated the whole time. This was the worst experience of our lives. Stay away from these scammers!

    This place... Non citizens are supposed to pay 15 USD each (which we negotiated down to 7.5) for the entry. The water, the trees, the shore, everything is covered in litter and the water stinks like a sewage treatment plant. Except for a toilet (ironically), there are no facilities at all and we weren't even being given a ticket. There are private boat operators which you have to pay extra. It bares anyones imagination but there are animals living in this toxic waters such as fish and even hippos. This place could be a valuable local gem besides mt kilimambogo but there is a long way to go.

    The place is awesome to view but personally the activities here may need to a lot of upgrading and the place needs to be looked after. Sadly a tourist attraction but a bit too littered for comfort though really had fun there 😁

  • 2/5 Ahmed A. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place, other than the pollution happening. I saw quite abit of leaking pipes along the river, not sure if it is sewage or not. But the river seems to have alot of soap in it. The locals seems to be used to the soapyness. Also there were quite a number of teens throwing stones at each other as we were about to leave. It would be ana amazing place if there was better management. Should be renamed to sewage falls instead.

    Very scenic, great spot for dates(from experience)πŸ˜‚ ,tho boat rides are over charged but if money isn't an issue, you will have a great time.

  • 4/5 Omari K. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a very nice place to visit. Cons: 1. The road is not well maintained 2. The park is not maintained. 3. Before accepting to be taken around by your tour guide discuss the charges so that you don't get conned. Don't board the road before knowing the pries

    Ask for a receipt after paying. Nice place to relax,but best away from the waters as its not clean. But definitely a nice place to visit.

    It's a beautiful nature to watch and relax. Only the weeds in the river were a little smelly. The crossing over was faster than I expected. I didn't have enough time to take photos since the guides rushed us... it's a good spot to connect with nature and for tourist lovers.
