Crossing Africa's video: River camp at Galana river in Kenya

River camp at galana river in Kenya. We drove through the bush to put up our river camp at Galana River next to the river. The scenery was beautiful, although we had no water, we were able to wash in the river. No crocodiles so far.

The river rises as Athi River and enters the Indian Ocean as Galana River. Athi River flows across the Kapote and Athi plains, through the Athi River town, takes a northeast direction and is met by the Nairobi River. Near Thika it forms the Fourteen Falls and turns south-south-east under the wooded slopes of the Yatta ridge, which shuts in its basin on the east. Apart from the numerous small feeders of the upper river, almost the only tributary is the Tsavo River, from the east side of Kilimanjaro, and in its lower course, known as the Sabaki (or Galana), traverses the sterile quartz-land of the outer plateau. The valley is in parts low and flat, covered with forest and scrub, and containing small lakes and backwaters connected with the river in the rains. At this season the stream, which rises as much as 10 m in places, is deep and strong and of a turbid yellow colour; but navigation is interrupted by the Lugard falls, which is actually a series of rapids. Onwards it flows east and enters the Indian Ocean north of Malindi. http://youtu.be/C79HAjCo8Us
