If you’re up for more adventure, you can take part in our optional visit to Thompson Falls & Hippo Pools* or hike up Marmanet Forest?** Dinner and overnight stay at the Resort.
*Optional visit to Thomson Falls & Hippo Pools: Thomson falls, named after the father of Joseph Thomson, the first European explorer to reach the majestic location, is a 243 feet waterfall on the Ewaso Ng’iro river in Central Rift Valley at 7,740 feet in elevation that drains from the Aberdare Range. You have the option to either enjoy the sight of the falls from a viewpoint, or, if feeling more dating, you can hike to the bottom of the falls for a closer look. Next, make your way to Hippo pools, one of the best spots to watch hippos interact in their natural habitat. We recommend going at the very early hours of the morning or at dusk to get a glimpse of the magnificent animal.
**Optional hike to Marmanet Forest: Marmanet Forest, comprising 4500 Ha of surface area, forms part of the migrating route popularly known as the elephant corridor, located at the intersection of Rumuruti and South Marmanet forests. This unique area is used by elephants to forage and access the farm lands neighboring the forest during harvest seasons, typically in October and November. It is also the location where mother elephants go to deliver their calves. A fire tower to monitor forest fires doubles as a viewpoint for visitors to relish in the scenic view. This activity can be booked directly at the destination and it takes place very early morning.
