Kweisos House

Josh and I have gone to Kweisos twice before.  You can read about our first trip here.  Kweisos House is a great guesthouse in the Nandi Hills where you can swim, ride horses, hike and overall just relax.  We loved our first two trips here and really wanted to go back before leaving Kenya this Spring.

Foxy goes for her first swim

Last weekend we headed up there with 11 others to just sit back and enjoy the weekend.  After claiming our rooms we hit the pool and spent the rest of the afternoon lounging in the water until the rest of the crew arrived.  Dinner was delicious as always there.  Al Karim made chicken curry and Anika went out of her way to make poached pears for dessert.

The next morning we were treated to a huge breakfast of eggs, bacon, banana pancakes and fixings.  Half of our group headed up to the horse stalls to do some riding and the rest of us decided to do a short hike to a nearby waterfall.  Kweisos is a beautiful sugar cane plantation with lovely hills and rolling fields.

The waterfall was situated in a small alcove that was covered in greenery.  The waterfall was small, maybe 20 feet but perfect for an afternoon dip.  Most of our group jumped in but I stayed out volunteering to watch Senna, Sam and Elin's 4 month old daughter.  (Had to get my baby fix)  Unfortunately our fun was cut short when Travis, a guy in our group, slipped and dislocated his shoulder.  I can't even imagine how much pain he was in.

After a tense hour of getting him slowly back to the house, Jess and Hilary (both docs) managed to slip his shoulder back into place.  When the excitement died down, we enjoyed another amazing lunch of chicken saute and fish.  By this time it was late and Josh and I had to pack up.  We headed back to Kisumu and spent the rest of the night relaxing at home.

Overall it was a great weekend.  I was so glad we were able to make it back up to the Kweisos house and that so many of our friends were able to come with us.  Josh and I are in full blown travel mode trying to get everything crossed off our Kenyan bucket list.  A return visit to Kweisos was definitely on there!
