Description

Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Nairobi. Enjoy a calm drive out of the city into the lush green outskirts of Kiambu County. Enter the forested trail leading to the historic caves once used as a hideout during the independence struggle. Your guide explains how the Mau Mau fighters lived inside the caves, hidden escape routes and wartime stories, flora and fauna unique to the area, and the cultural importance in Kenya’s liberation history. After a short safety briefing, gear up for your adrenaline moment. Glide across the forest, feel the cool wind and open views, and enjoy professional safety gear and certified instructors. The zipline is beginner-friendly and suitable for all fitness levels. Stop at the stunning Paradise Lost waterfall for photos and a refreshing nature moment. Then, enjoy a curated picnic by the lakeside. Relax by the lake, unwind, take photos, and enjoy the calm scenery. Take a gentle row across the calm waters — great for couples and families. Finally, return to Nairobi and get dropped off at your preferred location.
