On 17th April Kenya Forest Service Director D.K. Mbugua and Friends of Karura Chairman Njoroge Karanja welcomed Mr. Jock Anderson, Director of AFEW (African Fund for Endangered Wildlife), to inaugurate officially the AFEW-funded amenity infrastructure on the Karura River valley trail. The impressive new steps and two stout bridges across the river make the famous Mau-Mau Caves and the Waterfall easily available to all visitors.

More images of the event can be found here.

And just in time to catch the encouraging onset of the April rains (50mm in the last two days!).
