The Sabbatical Route
This medium level trail takes one over the Mbaxene stream near the secret pools. Follow the contour and animal path with a few up and downs and then level off on what is now the southern side of the Mbaxene Gorge. Follow the edge of this remarkable gorge (normally only seen from the other side) all the way down to the cascades waterfall and point where the small road crosses the river at Nyauza village. Have a swim the head back up to Protea Ridge. This is a brisk 2.5 to 3 hour trail that will leave you speechless. Take your time and stretch it to 4 to 5 hours.
