The hike starts from AIC Kijabe hospital rising steeply through the thick forest vegetation. The hiking route follows Kijabe river with a series of several stunning waterfalls. Our mission will be to reach the furthest and also the highest waterfall.
This adventure will require you to walk, jump, crawl, slide, bend and sometimes to stop and think of how you will make the next step. The adventure will lead us to walk through the dark tunnel, an underground water tunnel that will test your boldness as you try to reach the other end – tunnel is about 1km walk.
After that we will tackle Kijabe hills and on the peak we will be on the same level with Mt. Longonot which will be just meters away.
We will then follow are route where we will walk under the canopy of cypress trees. This route leads us to the road where we'll be picked up by our van for us to depart for Nairobi.
