Thomson's Falls
Thomson's Falls is a waterfall on the Ewaso Ng'iro River in Central Rift Valley Kenya, a few kilometres from Lake Ol Bolossat, which drains from the Aberdare Range. It is situated from the town of Nyahururu, at elevation. In 1883, Joseph Thomson was the first European to reach the waterfall and named it for his father. Thomson wrote:
Thomson was a Scottish geologist and naturalist who became the first European to walk from Mombasa to Lake Victoria in the early 1880s.
The falls are a major economic resource for the adjacent town of Nyahururu. Most of the revenue is received from tourists, both international and domestic, who are charged at the gate.
The falls appeared in the TV Movie The Man in the Brown Suit.
