A Kshs 300 entry fee gains you access to this rustic 1960 establishment which sits atop of a ridge with great views over the shimmering green tea fields to Nairobi some 20km to the south-east. A short stroll down through eucalyptus woodlands takes you to the beautiful 18m Tigoni Waterfalls set in lush green riverine forest.

Directions
Take the Limuru Road heading north past the Village
Market mall as far as the Banana Hills road junction . Turn off to the right
(north) and follow this road up through the bustling Muchatha (2km from the
junction) and Banana Hills (5km) areas emerging back out into the countryside,
passing the Kentmere Club on your right (10km - and on to the junction at All Saint's church
signposted Limuru Girls School.
Turn right here on the tar road and proceed approx 1.5km (just before Kiambethu Farm (on the left).
Turn right here onto a dirt road which heads down and up past the school
and then after a left hand bend loops around the top of the ridge along a jeep
track to the Butt Farm / Waterfalls Inn gate. Pay the Kshs 300/person entry fee
here and proceed to the parking area in front of the farmhouse.
From here, simply follow the signposted footpath east for
approx 150m past the restaurant, across a grassy picnic area and then down a broad-stepped
trail through the forest to the waterfall. The overgrown jeep track which
you see ahead of you at the corner where you headed down to access the falls
continues west through the lovely cool forest and loops up and around to the
right to emerge in a grassy sloping field heading back up to the start (approx
550m/20 mins walking distance). This track is also navigable with a little care
(narrow in places) by 4WD vehicles (and probably normal cars) and there is just
enough space to do a nifty 5-7 point turn around where it meets the stepped
foot trail coming down from the farm.
