This is Karuru Falls in the Aberdare mountains and shows just how steep these mountains can be. Colonial security forces had to hunt down the Mau Mau in the thick,  high altitude forests on both sides of the range. The forest changes from tropical rain forest at the lower elevations to temperate hard forests before becoming a bamboo belt around 8,500 feet up to 10,000 feet. After that, the forest shifts to Rosewood before giving way to moorlands. The Aberdare peaks reach 13,000 feet and feature glaciers despite being on the equator. Fans of the movie "Out of Africa" may recognize this waterfall from the scene when Robert Redford squires Meryl Streep up in a Gypsy Moth, and fly through a lush valley with two waterfalls. The second, which is not in the photo, is Gura Falls. Also, Jens Hessel, a white settler who lived through the Mau Mau rebellion,  flew the plane in the movie as Redford's stunt double.
