@kenyapics Locals already call them "Ndururumo". The local Afrikaner school, the former Jan van Riebeck School is now Ndururumo School.

@kenyapics As we grew up in the small town of Thomson Falls we called the waterfalls ‘Kîrurumo’ derived from word thunder. The town was surrounded by Samburu/Maasai named villages the locals probably had a name for falls. Gikuyu settlers from Nyeri renamed the town Nyahururu from T. Falls
