One of the most interesting things i have done as a guide was to take my team to The Forest for team building. The Forest is a recreational facility located in Kereita forest, Kiambu, Kenya on the Nairobi to Limuru highway. Just a one hour drive from Nairobi, The Forest offers a wide ray of outdoor activities such as zip lining, mountain biking, horse riding, camping, nature walks, archery and even paint balling.
The day was adrenalin filled. With my fear of heights, i was scared stiff of going on the zip lines some of which are several hundred feet above ground!! Somehow i managed to do all 6 lines and my team loved to see how frightened i was ( good office gossip for them!!)
The walk from one line to another takes you through wonderful nature and amazing views. After Zip lining we went paint balling, where am sure some office grudges were settled. A few of my team members shot me and all said it was by mistake!! (just kidding, am a good boss)
Finally we finished with some archery and some team building activities before settling in to a delicious lunch served in the restaurant overlooking the Kereita forest. After a wonderful, adrenalin filled day we got into our transport and headed back to Nairobi. What a memorable day it was.
