We went behind a rock and changed into swimming costumes/make shift swimming costumes. Josh decided to be brave and climb up above the waterfall with the guard to jump down. Shukri and I were a bit less convinced about doing that. I dove in and was shocked at the crisp clean water straight from the mountain. We made our way under the waterfall. We felt like we belonged in a brochure for the place. We were those people having fun under the waterfall! It was amazing! We swam for a bit. We had brought supplies for coffee and tea in the forest, but during the ride, the water thermos/flask had broken and we had no more water for hot drinks. We had brought cashews, digestive biscuits, and dried mango. It was a refreshing snack after the swim. We then dried up and started off down the mountain again. We drove deeper into the forest and made our way to a platform bridge.
Now this platform bridge was made of 2 very strong cables holding a basket that felt like walking on chain link fence. I must say I got to the top of the stairs and had a moment of hesitation. We were all assured of its safety….but yeah my knees trembled at points, especially when the bridge swayed with movement. The whole platform bridge was about 500meters. It twisted and turned through the forrest, giving us a birds eye view of everything. It was stunning and surreal.
The day is still young and we will see what else Kenya has to offer……
