Waterfalls in Makueni

Kyanzizi Falls: A Gem at Kilome

Bearing resemblance to Zaina Falls in Nyeri County within a stone’s throw of the equally remarkable Ilovoto Falls, Kyanzizi Falls on appearances alone is beautiful, even without counting up the annexing all-round wondrous views of Masembeni Hills and Mount Kilimanjaro. On arrival at Kilome there will be a forest on your left with a ‘Kenya Forest Service’ signpost. Do not get to the sign post, look to the right there is a murram road; turn onto this for 1 km passing a sign Mbukuni Primary on your right. The road then bends left then right. As it starts straightening, look on the right for 2 wooden small kiosks and thereafter a right turn with a small sign to ‘Kyakitoo Catholic Church’. Along this road, take the immediate right and proceed for about 400 metres looking out for a waterfall on your right at the valley bend. To get to the waterfall above it, seek a local to show you the way. To explore the waterfall below proceed by foot to the tree line 20 metres ahead and look below on your left. To turn you car and double-back, proceed ahead for 30-40 metres.
