Located in a dense forest populated by baboons, Thomson's Falls plummet from a height of 72 m (230 ft). Stay at the bottom if you don't mind getting splashed by the foaming water--looking up at the falls and the surrounding cliffs provides an opportunity to spot the resident baboons. Plan your visit to Thomson's Falls and a wealth of other attractions, well-known and undiscovered, using our Aberdare National Park trip planner.
