Waterfalls, Animals, and Tea Farms























Aberdare National Park

My first weekend in Kenya was absolutely spectacular!!! A group of ten of us took a camping trip to the Aberdare National Park. Mind you, I have never been camping before in my life so it was many new experiences packed into a couple of days. Kenya is such a beautiful country and has so many beautiful places, I cannot even begin to do it justice with pictures, much less words. As soon as you enter the park there are literally wild animals everywhere! If you are an outdoors person even in the slightest, you have to visit Kenya's national parks, its unreal how gorgeous they are!

During the day we hiked to several of the waterfalls in the national park. I have no words for them...majestic is as close as I can come to describing them! I almost don't want to post pictures because they don't do it justice one bit, but I will anyway because they come much closer than words!

The second day we stayed at a campsite outside of the park that was among the farmland in Kenya. Mostly, there were tea farms where we were staying. It was incredibly beautiful and peaceful. I envy the people who live in such a tranquil part of the world.
