Travel Guide Thika

Located 40 km northeast of Nairobi, at an altitude of 1,500 meters, on the river of the same name, Thika is part of the capital's urban area. It is a modern industrial city that is expanding rapidly. It is also a center for the production of canned pineapple and coffee. The production of textiles, tin cans and matches are also part of the industrial landscape. On the other hand, there is not much to do for tourists, except to visit agricultural plantations and the "Fourteen Falls", a 27 meter high waterfall on the second longest river in the country, the Athi River
