The cool & Calm hike
Castle Forest and Kamweti Falls is located within Mount
Kenya Forest in Kamweti, Kirinyaga County. The hike offers
a delightful combination of nature’s beauty and refreshing
escape, perfect for kids, beginners, and experienced
hikers. The hike starts at the Castle Forest Lodge,
through the beautiful Kamweti forest, across a river on
rustic wooden bridges. The trail takes a thrilling turn to
a narrow path. It descends steeply into the river towards
the magnificent Kamweti Falls, plunging approximately 70
meters into the pool. For the adventurous souls, dip in
the swimming holes near the base of the falls.
