The Aberdare holds a special historical place – not just for Kenyans but for the Commonwealth. It is here that the princess of the most famous royal family in the world had a picnic and spent the night in a cave covered with a curtain of falling water.

Ironically, it is in these same ranges that the climax of a fierce freedom war from British colonial rule was staged.
