6 Kenyan waterfalls you need to visit

Waterfalls- a cascading wall of water that has a sound that makes songbirds sing and the roar that makes lions whimper.

With Kenya having over ten waterfalls, many of them are located in tourist sites while others appear to be an innocuous part of a body of water.

Some waterfalls stand out in their beauty and their majesty but aren't as well known or visited as their counterparts.

For instance, Fourteen Falls in Thika and the Thomson's falls in Nyahururu are known by all and sundry.

But what about the more "obscure" ones?

Here are 6 Kenyan waterfalls you need to add to your to-visit list.
