The breathtaking Simbi Nyaima

Image
When growing up I loved spending time with my great grandma, listening intently to her amazing and chilling evening stories. There was never a better feeling than the one I got when she mumbled "a long time ago....." That's when I would forget everything else I could have been doing and take an old gunia (gunny bag), gather up with my cousins and sit at her feet( how awesome those moments were) #smiling . The moments were characterized by utter silence and absolute attention. Memories of how we would get scared especially when she told stories of the ogres, the hyena and the wolves( laughing ) still linger in my mind to date.  Though most of her stories were fictional, there were some which felt and sounded real. One such story is the tale of Simbi Nyaima. Throughout my childhood years and the teenage age, The desire to visit this amazing place grew day by day and so when I was 20, I decided to take a leap and travel, just to behold the wonders this destination exudes.
