Description

The Blue Post Hotel is a nice place for a stop over. Take the walk through the gardens and along the river, starting with the Thika Falls. This is a very good place to see African Finfoot, one of Africa's most elusive waterbirds. Also a nice place for many garden birds and Sykes' monkey (Cercopithecus mitis albogularis).
