Waterfalls in Nandi

Ngabunat WaterFall I Caves: Fair Country

Situated in Lessos not far from the border with Uasin Gishu County, and accessed through – and within – Kibabet Tea Estate, the wildly picturesque Ngabunat Cave, loosely translating as a secret and hidden hideaway, is truly a gem of underrated yet memorable beauty. And mystique! It is almost incomprehensible that this wonder, straight out of a fairytale, is only a lesser-known destination despite its fetching beauty and enthralling cultural chronicles. All in all there are ten caves at Ngabunat Site, with the most popular being the uppermost one with a picture perfect waterfall cascading over its mouth. Ngabunat Caves are one of the most culturally-important heritage sites in Nandi County, with a history dating back to the 18th Century. It was here that the legendary ‘Mogobich Battles’ between the Nandi and the Ilwasin Kishu Maasai Tribes were swedged – to separate the men from the boys. Both these tribes wanted to lay claim these caves owing to the protected shelter and limitless salty water for their livestock. Not too far from Ngabunat Caves are spectacular views of Mogobich Valley. Ngabanut Caves are found in tea-growing region of Kapchorua just 10 kms east of Nandi Hills Town.
