Fun on the Farm...!




Fun on the Farm...!

So we just got back from a trip to Kembu Campsite, which is located at Kenana Farm next to the town of Njoro, close to Nakuru in Kenya's famous Rift Valley. 

The trip was with 23 year 5 students (9-10 year olds) from Nairobi Academy Prep School. 

A great 3 days were had by all. We had a full tour of the farm with students looking at the racehorse breeding, dairy farm and the sheep / knitting community project. 

The highlight of the trip was the day walk up the old Mau Mau freedom fighter hide-out... Kiplombe Gorge and it's beautiful 'office'.

Check out the pictures below...!
