Getting there

Car

If you are driving to Chania Falls, start from the Aberdare National Park entrance at KWS Headquarters. Follow the main road through the park towards the Nyeri-Nairobi road. Continue on this road until you reach the turnoff towards Chania Falls, which is approximately 20 km from the entrance. Look for signs indicating the direction to Chania Falls. Once you reach the parking area, you will need to walk a short distance to the falls, as the parking area is a bit away from the viewing point.

Public Transportation

To reach Chania Falls via public transportation, you will first need to get to Nyeri town from your location within Aberdare National Park. You can take a matatu (shared taxi) from any nearby lodge or camp to Nyeri. Once in Nyeri, you can take another matatu heading towards Nanyuki and ask to be dropped off at the nearest point to Chania Falls. Be prepared to walk approximately 1-2 km to reach the falls from the drop-off point. It’s advisable to check with locals for the best drop-off point, as they can provide real-time advice on the nearest routes.

Hiking

For the adventurous, consider a hiking route to Chania Falls. From the Aberdare National Park headquarters, take the marked hiking trails heading towards Chania Falls. The distance is roughly 8 km and can take around 2-3 hours depending on your pace. Make sure to carry enough water and snacks, and start early in the day to avoid the midday heat. The trail is scenic, with opportunities to see wildlife and enjoy the lush surroundings.
