Hello beautiful people!
Welcome to yet another episode of my travel memoirs. I’m so
excited to share with you this beautiful hidden gem we discovered at the heart
of Nyeri town in a small idyllic village called Kinunga. I love places which create extra ordinary
experiences and this is one of the reasons Zaina Falls captivated me.
I loved Zaina Falls for so many reasons, most which I lack
the best words to explain but what stood out for me is the opportunity to
experience nature’s truest essence which I will sum up in the preceding
pointers below:
Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing also known as ‘tree therapy’
or ‘taking in the forest atmosphere’ is the practice of simply being in the
forest. This practice developed in Japan and has become a cornerstone of
preventive health and healing in Japanese Medicine. Zaina Falls is
beautifully endowed with huge tracts of land covered in flora and fauna. This is an deal environment for you to take some time to consciously breathe in the forest air-fill your lungs
with pure fresh air as you let out the polluted air.
Research shows that forest air is medicinal
in that it boosts our immune system functioning and reduces blood pressure- A
double win for you!

Waterfall Chasing
You just have to be there to
experience the magic and the magnificent beauty as the falls thunder in continuous
rhythm. Sit on the huge rocks and stare at the breathtaking waterfalls as you
take it all in surrounded by the beautiful landscape calming your mind, body
and soul.
The free-spirited and adventurous
souls get a chance to swim and play in the freezing cold water cascading from
the falls. Don’t even get me started on the benefits of cold water to your skin - You know them!

Magnificent Scenery
Stop and savor in nature’s beauty and let the environment transfigure your
mind. Delight in the beautiful landscape: the backdrop of the mountains
stretching far in the horizon, and the lush green grassland. This place Is
ideal for picnicking with friends, photo-shoots, family day-trip, proposals, countryside destination wedding, romantic gateway etc..the list is endless.

The sounds of Nature
Listening to the sounds of nature is one of the easiest ways to let off
steam; Steal a chance to sit on the lush green grass and tune in to the sounds of nature . Notice the swashing of the trees, the whistle
of the wind, the bubbling of the streams and the chirping of the birds.
Getting in tune with nature opens your senses, increases the flow of eros
(life force) and helps you hone your intuition by cultivating a deeper and
clearer intuition.

Leisurely Walks
Zaina Falls trail offers for a manageable terrain ideal for leisurely
walks. I think of walking in nature as a life-enhancing and enjoyable past time
that it is; it not only nurtures our body, but our minds and spirits
too. This creative form of movement will enable you to appreciate nature in its truest essence.
Adventure!
Talk of Crossing the stream through make-shift bridges, climbing rocks, taking a million selfies, getting lost in the woods and playing in the waterfall. This and more, makes this nature trip extraordinary!

Worth every Moment!
Zaina Falls through our eyes was worth every moment. The restorative aspect of nature couldn't be
undermined. Nature restores a
sense of serenity in our lives by increasing our bodies’ production of feel
good hormones, improving our mood, increasing our energy levels, improving
sleep, deepening friendships and overall increase in the sense of happiness.
Constant exposure to natural environment
with a deliberate goal of indulgence will eventually transform you to a more
positive and optimistic individual.
