Overview

Named after Britain’s first proconsul of East Africa, Captain Lugard, the Lugard Falls are rapids where the Galana River vanishes into a rocky gorge so narrow at one part that is impossible to stand astride the cleft with the falls below. The falls are located in Tsavo East National Park offer a stunning landscape of white, light gray, and pink multi-colored rocks carved over centuries by the water to form incredible shapes. During the rainy seasons, the rapids turn to ravage floods, and the waterfalls’ sight and roaring sound leave tourists bewildered.
