Chania Falls

Kenya


The Chania Falls tumble over a rocky, tree-lined cliff, just in front of the restaurant of the Blue Post Hotel. The scene is delightfully appreciated from the porch of the restaurant with a stiff drink in one hand and a book in the other. There is a gated walkway on the hotel grounds that allows you to walk down to the falls' base (KSh400).
