  • Located in a private estate in Thika just an hour away from Nairobi, Mugumo Cottage is a true oasis, perfect for a weekend getaway with friends or family!
    This massive cottage is lakeside with three bedrooms accommodating up to six people, with a full kitchen, a large living room and more outdoor space then you will ever need. It is also dog friendly so we brought Stich with us!

    14 Falls of Thika
    After Googling "What to do in Thika", one thing kept popping up on every website, the Fourteen Falls. After driving about 50 minutes from Mugumo Cottage, we made it to the falls. Many have told us that this place is heavily populated and after looking at the color of the water, those people are probably right. But let's all agree that this place is stunning and hopefully by bringing attention to it maybe people will start taking action. Otherwise, it was a pleasure to spend some time with our two favorite locals, John and Maurice!

    There's also Mt Kilimambogo (big hill on the right as you cruise along Thika Road outbound before the Thika-Garissa highway flyover).
    The hill is inside Oldonyo Sabuk National Park, a few kilometers from 14 falls. The best part is that you can opt to drive all the way to the summit if you don't feel like hiking 😊 the views up there are breathtaking!

    "Tracy is not the most adventurous person". That has to be the biggest understatement of all time. A Nova Scotia girl that gave it all up to go on an adventure with you to Africa and takes part in all your activities! Apologies are in order :) BTW, I still don't understand why you are only at 100K subscribers. These videos and content is fantastic and are a different take to most of the content on the subject of travel to this part of the world. I think because you do not use sensational headlines to increase viewships. I would love to see more of your videos in other east african countries as you make your way southwards as well.,

    I have a few questions if you have the time to answer.
    1) Is Stitch your dog? I thought I saw a dog at your house a while back.
    2) So there are leech's in the waterfall area That would freak me out 😏
    3) Why is water so foamy? It kind of reminds me of water in a hippo pool (yuck). Where does this water flow from upstream?

    • @DaveMani
      @DaveMani  Год назад

      1) he is our friend's dog but we see him a lot.
      2) after the fact, we think they were "poop warms" due to the pollution
