I took a day off on Saturday, and Sammy and I took a day trip we had been planning to do for awhile, but hadn't gotten around to yet. We drove to the Ngarendare Forest, northeast of Nanyuki toward Lewa Conservancy to do their Canopy Walk. The canopy walk is a 150m+ long track suspended on wires through the forest canopy. You climb some steep stairs at the beginning, the walk along up in the air and through the trees, ending at a platform before coming back the same way.
The floor beneath your feet is just wire mesh, and the whole things does swing a bit as you walk... so definitely not for those afraid of heights. At one point there is even a tree growing right in the middle of the track that you have to shimmy around! The other cool thing about the trip was the view of Mount Kenya from a different angle. Seeing it from the North instead of the West (and being even closer) gives a while different perspective.
