Want a trip full of adventure? Climb a mountain!

There's something refreshing about the great outdoors. Nothing can beat the first breathe of fresh country air you take in on a cold crisp morning, or the vibrant chirps of early birds as they usher in the day. Nature is unequivocally beautiful. Typically, there are people like me who don't mind switching off for a couple of days to just bond with Mother Nature. In fact it is recommended now and then to take a break from technology and life's busy schedule to just recharge and renew our bodies.

I recently discovered an untapped territory that is begging to be explored; the Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park! Little is known about this gem. The name, which means 'big mountain', was given by Maasai pastoralists in reference to the towering peak of the mountain at a height of 2,145m.
