KITENGELA HOT GLASS.
“Travel
is the only thing you buy that makes you rich.”
Situated in
Rongai a few kilometers from the city is Kitengela Hot Glass.(Assuming
not everyone drives, you can take a bike or a tuktuk from the main road in
Rongai to this place.)
Kitengela
hot glass is a trust that lives up to its name. it deals mainly in glass items
made from recycled glass. The trust sells unique glassware, lamp shades and
vases that are handmade by professionals. You you may even want to just pop in
for a little shopping for your house’s interior decor.
The main
reason why I will always keep going back to this beautiful place is the bridge.
Being on the bridge gives one perspective, you can brand anyone who crosses the
river on this bridge a risk taker as it’s made from wire mesh and glass
decorations on the side. It is suspended over a river and a gorge. For anyone
who fears height, I promise you a thrill and fear and probably screams.
This bridge
experience is pocket friendly as one only parts with Ksh.150 which also allows
you access to the curio shop from where one can watch the amazing scenery of
the vast grassland, it’s breathtaking especially in the evenings when the sun
is low. You can get to enjoy ice-cream as you have a chatty laugh with your
friends and swing. Be wary of the monkeys though.
Besides the
bridge they have a pool which also stole my heart *blush. I would have a
hundred reasons (okay that’s a lie, probably 5) why I loved the pool but my
favorite has to be the view. It has a heavenly view and an infinity feel. It
has a feel of swimming in the wild and it is never crowded and has an ambiguous
shape. For the pool you only part with ksh.500.
The beauty
of this place is that, you can choose to carry your own lunch and have a picnic
with your friends or your lover. However, if you feel like having a heavy meal
there are a few hotels nearby. There is Rolf’s place and Maasai lodge a few
meters of each other.
. Are you free this weekend? Yes? Why not pay the
place a visit?
