Geocache Description:

Nkoaranga is a village on the slops of Mount Meru. People here agriculture especially bananas and coffee and view as well as landscape are beautiful! The cache is located on the compound of an American NGO.


The coordinates might not be perfect but with a little description this cache should be easy to find. If you come from the mainroad to Nkoaranga you head up the hill until you reach the end of the tarred road where a lutheran hospital is. There you turn right a little further a dust road until you find a red gate which leads you inside the office grounds of TheSmallThings (TST). You can open the door through the locking bar inside which you can reach easily through a hole in the gate. The container itself is placed inside this privet compound with permission. Right in the middle are some plants which you should take a closer look at to find the cache (a metal box with a plastic lid containing the log book, a pen and some other stuff).

Because it is a guarded area the cache is quite safe for trackables as well. The people working there will be happy to assist you if you ask them and they can show you the orphanage where I worked as a volunteer for the last year. Or you just take a walk in the area around which is safe through daytime and gives you some fantastic views of the top of Mount Meru (if there are no clouds) or the Massai Plains below.

This is my first cache so I hope you got enought information to grab it (probably best during daytime).
