14 FALLS , WATER FALLS NEAR MY VILLAGE,
Around 60 kms out of Nairobi is Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park centred around an imposing 2,146 metre mountain. The local Mkamba name for this peak is Kilimambogo, or "Buffalo Mountain", an appropriate name given the large population of Mbogo (Buffalo) that live in the surrounding montane forest and plainland. The park is also a refuge for colobus monkeys, bushbuck, duiker, leopard and numerous bird species.
Just outside the park, the waters of the Tana river cascade 27 metres down through a series of spectacular cataracts, forming the "14 falls".
transport to this beautifull water falls is by matatu or by taxi can be organized on request,
WOODCARVING FACTORIES IN WAMUNYU
The Kamba are nowadays most famous for their African blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon) carvings, although this is actually a very recent art form: the Kamba were introduced to the techniques of wood sculpture by Mutisya Munge, who had served in the colonial Carrier Corps in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) during World War I. There, he came into contact with Zaramo carvers, who had themselves been influenced by the Makonde .Munge collected Zaramo models, and on returning to Kenya took up carving as a full-time occupation.
Following Munge-s efforts, a booming trade in carvings developed at the small town of Wamunyu, along the road from Machakos to Kitui, as evidenced nowadays by a welter of self-help and co-operative carvers- societies and their shops. Here, some 3000 people - many of them children - eke out a living with wood carving.
Anyone who has been to Kenya will undoubtedly have come across the miniature carvings of elephants and antelopes, lions, reptiles and birds, as well as the necklace pendants embellished by coiled wire, which are sold in hotel gift shops and tourist stalls throughout the country. No matter where you see or buy them, chances are that they will have been made by the Kamba - even the life-size Maasai warriors, which I once saw a German couple carting through Nairobi-s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on the way to the check-in desk.
These animal and human figures are far from traditional, but most the remunerative for the carvers. Spoons and ladles are an exception, as are the three-legged stools, often beautifully inlaid with wire coils.
the tour to wamunyu wood factories can be done by matatu or taxi from my farm/home on request,
