Nyansiongo

29. - 31.12.2014

The next days we escape from the noisy city life and relax in the village of Nyansiongo.

From Nairobi we are going in south west direction.






We have to pass the Great Rift Valley.



"Welcome to the impressive Great Rift Valley!"

The Great Rift Valley is a huge trench through Africa, that reaches from Lebanon to Mozambique and is approximately 6 000 kilometres in length. The canyon facilitates watering places. So there are many lakes such as the Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita.

Relaxing in the backyard surrounded by so many colourful birds.

In the last years the population growth in Kenya was above average in comparision to other african countries. So everywhere we see constructions of new buildings.
