Thika Attractions

Thika is a small market town, north east of Nairobi. The main attractions are Chania Falls and Thika Falls, north of the center of town. Thika Falls was the background for many of the Tarzan movies. There are wooden walkways across the lower Chania Falls and pools of rainbow trout downstream.

The market on the eastern edge of Thika is worth a visit for the patterned sarongs and Maasai blankets.

Ol Donyo Sabuk is one of Kenya's smaller national parks. This mountain park has forested slopes, ravines and a summit with breathtaking views of Mount Kenya, Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding lowlands including Nairobi.
