As the crisp Limuru highlands winds send the leaves into a gentle dance, birds perched in the trees chirp away in unison as if celebrating the tranquility of the clear bright morning.

On the ground underneath, the different tree species, small streams slowly gather speed as they roll down inclines to join rivers such as Karura, Ruaka, Riara and Kamiti.
