The Mau Mau Fighters of Kenya Drunk from This Falls
The Aberdares is a significant forest in Kenyan History. The Mau Mau Fighters, the heroes of Kenya’s Freedom Fight against the British Colonialists dwelt in the Aberdares.
While enjoying the scenic views you have the chance to reminisce on how the freedom fighters relied on the water from the waterfalls for various purposes. Some took oaths facing the falls. The mystery around the waterfalls is a thrill you do not want to miss.
The Bamboo Garden Walk
This reminds me of our childhood nursery rhyme: In and out of the Bamboo Forest, you are my partner. You get to be a child again when trailing this magnificent bamboo garden. The garden starts at China Gate to the waterfalls. While trailing, you will guided by the sound of the gushing waterfalls. You can take up a challenge and see who finds the falls first.
You get a Chance to chase Waterfalls
All through the bamboo forest, you will be chasing waterfalls. There are two waterfalls in the Aberdares commonly known as No.17 and No. 18. The Come Travel Kenya Limited tour guide will explain to you the inspiration behind the naming.
