The slopes of Mt Kenya will be our playground this coming Saturday. Waterfall chasing and forest bathing is the practice of simply being in the forest..slow walk through the forest to experience the calming and the restorative effect of the forest. Where better this to happen than on the slopes of Mt. Kenya. We start from Kamwana following the rarely frequented elephant trails through one of the few remaining indigenous forests in the country.
The 17km trail will take you through the rainforest with a variety of tree and bird species.
All through opportunities to just take in the forest atmosphere and literally bath in its beauty in awe.
