Tari Off The Beaten Path Tips by jadedmuse

Waterfalls everywhere....

Once you've crossed a bridge (or two), it's inevitable that you'll come across a waterfall. There are several near the Ambua Lodge and other areas in the Highlands mountains....we stumbled upon streams, rivers and waterfalls and the foliage is prolific as a result of the cascading water.

If you have the time, take a "nature walk" or hike along trails (usually with a guide), as it's worth it to see some of nature's majesty in its purest forms.

Don't forget to enjoy the wiew UNDER the bridge!

It's always fun to stop half-way across this kind of bridge, and take some time out for introspection....you know, listen to the sound of the birds in the trees, the running stream below....your own panicked breathing.....

Or, you can appreciate the bridge from a distance!

It pays to check out the bridge first before you venture across it.

Never can be too careful!

Take a Walk Along the Bridge....

I'm afraid of height so this was a bit of a challenge....imagine a rope and bamboo bridge with the width that equals the length of your foot; then imagine that there is a running river underneath you as you swing and totter along from one side to the other...

Let the fun begin!

(If you spend a day exploring the Highlands, you'll come across one or more such bridges, used extensively by the native tribes)
