Kimakia Forest Hike and Waterfall Chase

Our adventure team once again left for beyond and has a new trail in the ever splendid Nyandarua (Aberdares) Ranges. Starting at Kimakia Forest Fishing Camp about 1.5 hours drive from Nairobi.

The trails follows a fishermen’s trail down crossing Chania river burbling down towards Thika. We continue up following Ragia River in a final push to the base of the thundering approximately 60m -2 stair Kimakia Falls.

We take our time taking in the beauty and letting the thunder calm us. Soon we retrace our steps back to the camp
