Nyahururu town in Kenya

The region is mainly agricultural and have recently started flower farming one of the main cash crops in Kenya.

The main attraction site in Nyahururu is the Thomson falls which gets its name from Sir Joseph Thompson, a geologist and the first European to walk from Mombasa to Lake Victoria in the 1880s.The area is also popular for the simple fact of being near the equator. Another attraction is the diminishing Lake Ol Bolossat threatened by robust use of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers used by the farmers surrounding this lake. The lake is famed as a bird watcher’s paradise.
Nyahururu also has a Kenya wildlife service center located 5km from the town along Nyahururu-Nyeri highway where visitors can watch elephants and hippos in their natural habitat.
