Kenya with Azure pools glistening at the bottom of waterfalls with 200 year old trees stretching into the canopy supporting a rich variety of bird and animal life. The forest is also a vital corridor that links the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy to Mount Kenya, and one which elephants have been using for centuries.

It also has a walkway ending at a wooden platform 30ft. high, where you can relax and enjoy a view of the river from this elevated vantage point and enjoy the Elephants and buffaloes which frequently come here to drink and wallow.
         Campsites near flowing water where you can enjoy camping out in the wilds of the forest. Equipped with clean running water, a toilet and a bathroom, well trained guides who can take you on informative and fun filled camping that must be always    accompanied by an armed ranger.
