Engare Sero Waterfall

Ngare Sero Waterfall

A waterfall in a gorge in the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Wade and hike along the stream for about an hour to reach it, and swim in the pool below to cool off.

The waterfall lies in a gorge on the escarpment west of the village of Engaresero. Following a Maasai guide, you hike along the stream for about an hour, wading several times and climbing over rocks with ropes, with towering red cliffs and palm trees on either side. At the end, the waterfall plunges from the cliff into a pool, where you can swim in the cool freshwater, a rare relief from the heat of the valley floor. Wear shoes suitable for wading and bring a waterproof bag. Entry and guide fees are about 20 to 30 USD. After rain the water can rise, so follow your guide's instructions closely.
