Thomson Falls, where the Ewaso Narok River drops from the Aberdare Mountains, draws visitors to this highland Kenyan town in the Eastern Rift Valley. Nyahururu sits high above sea level in the southwestern part of Laikipia County, and the falls — which gave the town its original name — are within walking distance of the centre. The wider region lies near a UNESCO World Heritage site.
