Walk beside papyrus, farms and a river to a 15-metre waterfall, with swimming when conditions allow.
Travel from Mto wa Mbu by tuk-tuk, bicycle or safari vehicle to Miwaleni Lake, a green oasis beneath the Rift Valley wall. Walk the papyrus-lined shore, learn how local artisans use reeds, then follow the river upstream. The final approach involves light rock-hopping before reaching a cool pool beneath a roughly fifteen-metre waterfall, where swimming may be possible when conditions are safe.
Times are flexible. Morning and afternoon starts are available for most experiences. The route and swimming opportunity depend on weather, water levels and your guide’s assessment.
