Lamadaya (Somali: Lamadaaye, Arabic: لَمَدايَ, romanizedLamādaya) are waterfalls that are located in the Cal Madow mountain range in the eastern Sanaag region of Somaliland. The meaning of the word in the Somali language is "not to be looked at", owing to the waterfalls' steep incline atop a high hill.
