Living the Soft Life at Thiba falls.
Do you ever want to get out of the city to just wind down after a long week? Do you also want a fun and easy experience away from Nairobi? Then Thiba might just be the experience you are looking for.
The experience starts in Nairobi CBD where we take transport to Outdoorsman Cabin, where the fun begins.
What is special about this experience?
- Outdoorsman Cabin. The place has very picturesque cabins that are quite artistic in design. There is also a picnic site where you can chill and have fun. You could also set up a hammock
- Waterfalls. There are two waterfalls on the grounds of the Outdoorsman cabin and you can swim in one of them. The water is shallow, so even if you are not a good swimmer, you can still get in, splash around and play volleyball in the water.
- It gets even better- there are swings in the waterfall where you can have fun like a little child again.
- Thiba waterfalls. There are three waterfalls in Thiba, which are tier waterfalls. The water comes from Mt Kirinyaga. Come and experience these majestic waterfalls that will take your breath away.
- Duff mpararo (swimming). If you love duff mpararo, you cannot miss this experience. Since it is a soft life experience, you have plenty of time to enjoy yourself in the cool waters of Thiba.
