Head southeast on the Meru-Nanyuki Road (A2) and continue for approximately 22 kilometers until you reach the junction for the Ngonyi area. Turn left onto a dirt road marked for Ngonyi. Drive about 5 kilometers on this road, which may be rough in places, so proceed with caution. You can park your car at a designated parking area before the last stretch to Irine Falls. From the parking lot, it's a short 10-minute walk to reach the falls. Keep an eye out for local signage that will guide you.

Once you arrive at Ngonyi, you may need to hire a local boda-boda (motorcycle taxi) or walk to the trailhead leading to Irine Falls, which is about 4 kilometers away. It's advisable to negotiate the fare with the boda-boda driver before your journey.
