For our inter-cultural trip this year, Brian and I got to hike for 3 days up and around 2 low mountains north of Nakuru. It was amazing to compare the geography of both mountains: one was dry and arid (as it had been deforested and was home to many small farms); the other has a deep canyon that is difficult to access and, as a result, contains a gorgeous swath of original forest (very difficult to find in Kenya). This mountain, as a result of the forest and its ecosystem, was lush, green and full of water. We were lucky enough to camp high up in the forest one night and it was absolutely magical.
