英文原文

At Njoro, just 4.6 km southeast of Ziwani Voyager Camp and 7 km from A23 Voi-Taveta, near Njoro Catholic Church, there’s a unique touring attraction, often sold short, at Njoro Springs. There are a series of springs in Taveta the most important of which are Salaita, Kitobo, Lumi and Njoro. It is these springs in Taveta that form the headwaters of the Njugini, Sante and Njoro Rivers. Sante and Njoro unite to form Tsavo River, which runs east from the western end of Tsavo West National Park up until it joins with Athi River to form Galana River at the center of the park.

Beyond Ziwani to Njoro springs, the Lumi River, rising in Mount Kilimanjaro, flows in a deeply eroded channel, the bed being primarily basalt except for a small area north-west region, feeding smaller and larger springs enroute. The largest of these springs, the Njoro, sometimes known as Njoro Kubwa, on a rocky land, sits in the middle of a serene forest grove. Also known as Ziwani Springs, the visual appeal at the site, no matter the season and time of year you visit, offers some good old-fashioned relaxation. Njoro Springs are to Taita Taveta County what the rock pool at Ngare-Ndare is to Meru County – a salubrious little unsullied paradisal corner.

A large natural pool punctuated with milky blue water fed by underground inlets, some coming up in a bubbling fashion at the pool’s edge, temporarily holds the water before it flows out. This milky blue hue, which when poured into a bucket where diffusion does not take place the whiteness disappears, is the result of the sediments in the springs and diffusion of light affecting its colour and clarity. The main activity at the springs is walking around the pools, river and naturals areas.

There is a narrowed bridge, or rather a concrete pillar on its side without railing, over the eroded gorge. The benefits of the springs are much more than aesthetic. North of Ziwani fruit farming is practised, the waters of Sainte and Njoro being used for irrigation. In 2020 the Government set aside Kes. 2 billion to facilitate sourcing water from these springs to Bura, Makitau and Mwatate. There are three groups of springs in the Taveta area, the most important of which are the Lumi Springs, comprising the Lenonya on the eastern bank of the river, and Njoro, Maji ya Waleni and Homers on the west bank. Grogan’s Castle lies about 3 km south.
