This is a shot of Karuru Falls. Devotees of the movie Out of Africa will remember the scene when Robert Redford squires Meryl Streep up in a Gypsy Moth and they fly into a beautiful lush mountain valley with two waterfalls. Karuru Falls is one and Gura Falls is the other at the head of the valley.

Who says you have to suffer when you do research. This is a shot of Sandai Homestay, my base during my stay in highlands. Located in Mweiga, a village about a half hour's drive north of Nyeri, Sandai was smack in the geographical center of the area invovlved in the Mau Mau rebellion. I saw my first Mau Mau hideout cave just five miles away. Petra Allmendinger runs this excellent guesthouse, and she provided most of the introductions to the fascinating people in the highlands. The ambiance and the food here can not be beat.
