Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start from Nyandarua Range and head towards the FP79+GH2 coordinates of Gura Falls. Use a GPS device or a maps app to navigate. From Nyandarua, take the main road towards Ndaragwa, then follow signs towards the Gura Falls area. The roads are relatively well maintained, but be cautious of any potholes. There is a parking area near the falls where you can securely leave your vehicle.

Public Transportation

For those using public transportation, take a matatu (shared taxi) from Nyandarua Range to Ndaragwa. Once you arrive in Ndaragwa, you may have to hire a motorcycle taxi (boda boda) to take you closer to Gura Falls, as public transport does not go directly to the waterfalls. Make sure to confirm the fare with the boda boda driver beforehand, typically around KES 200-300. The last part of the journey will require a short walk from the drop-off point to the falls.

Walking

After arriving at the nearest drop-off point by car or boda boda, you will need to walk approximately 1 kilometer to reach Gura Falls. The path is scenic but can be steep and uneven, so wear appropriate footwear. Follow the signs leading to the falls, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
