Car

If you're driving, start from Embu town. Head southwest on the Embu-Kangaru road (B6) for about 10 kilometers. Look for signs pointing to Iveche waterfall, as the road will fork. Take the left fork onto a dirt road, and continue for about 5 kilometers. The road may be bumpy, so drive carefully. You will reach a small parking area near the waterfall entrance. Parking is usually free, but ensure your vehicle is parked safely.

Be sure to negotiate the fare before starting your ride.

If you're up for an adventure, you can hike to Iveche waterfall from the nearest road access point. After being dropped off at the junction, follow the marked trail for about 30-40 minutes.
