Go where you feel most alive
I have friends who cringe every time I mention camping. ”How do you shower,what if I need to use the toilet? ” They ask ,actually the fan part of camping is figuring all these out with limited resources ,but, my story today is about glamour camping.
A camp site where all necessities are provided and you don’t have to bush craft out there.I haven’t slept outdoors in a while ,when my girl Elzie reached out with a camping idea I was in full support to it.
We wanted to involve a lot of people/friends to make it even more fun so we did.
As usual I over prepare, y’all remember my day pack essentials post in preparation for the Elephant hill hike,right? I always convince myself over packing is better than under packing especially ,if you are not sure about the outdoor location situation in terms of weather and the like.
We all met at around midday on a Friday and left Nairobi for Embu which is located 120 Km away.
Embu county is popularly known for rice cultivation ,the fields are so beautiful you cannot miss to stare,add the distant views of Mt Kenya and other beautiful landscapes , I promise you the view is like paradise.
We got to Camp Ndunda in Njukiri forest after some hours settled down and the adventures began.We had a two nights three days stay and different activities planned for each day.

Camp Ndunda offers all types of activities from hiking,cycling,swimming,ball games,mud runs ,rope challenges ,canopy walks ,zip lining and more.
Our first night at the camp was spent cooking ,playing board games and story time by the bonfire.
The next morning we woke up so psyched for the day ,quick stretches ,breakfast and catching up because why not lol!
After lazing around for some time we headed for a real yoga session by river Rupingazi which flows right through the camp.The session was so amazing the sun was shining just right not too hot ,the breeze allowed us to stretch quietly as the sounds of nature filled our ears ,we played and deeped our feet in the amazing cold water.I might have deeped my whole body ‘for the gram’ lol!
We headed for the mud run ,not my favorite activity as I ended up bruising my knees from crawling, I should have known earlier,but I definitely finished the challenge.
After a crazy hour of shouting at each other while doing the mud challenge we all went for swimming in the river ,cleaned up and just chilled by the amazing 30 feet water fall,in river Rupingazi.
We got to mingle with other groups that were camping too ,made some nice video and photography content.
Camp sites are so much fun especially if you are in charge of your own time and how you spend it.We had a local lady help in the kitchen as we were out and about as I said earlier, glamour camping makes camping easy even for those who don’t like outdoors so much.The staff at Camp Ndunda were so supportive and took great care of all the guests.
Apart from crashing a party ,dancing and downing a bottomless glass of whiskey that night, I can just say it was a perfect day.The next morning was quite slow,but after hydrating I was good to go.Early risers were already playing volleyball,darts,and visiting the Embu cultural homestead which I walked past so many times lol!
We hard an obstacle challenge and a 2 hour hike then we prepared to live for Nairobi. Such a short weekend but full of fun activities.
I love being in the outdoors and definitely looking to doing more camping trips before the end of the year
