Paradise Lost Caves

Paradise Lost Caves is the next name on the list today. Joseph Mbai discovered the Paradise Lost Caves System in Misarara, Kiambu County, in 1996. Human remains dating back 8000 - 12000 years, as well as obsidian artifacts from the Later Stone Age, were discovered by a National Museums of Kenya expedition. Even though it is not as large as those found in certain cave systems in the United States and Mexico, the caves have the largest underground lake ever discovered.

The caves have electric lighting for tours that pass through, but they can be difficult to navigate at times due to the caves becoming very narrow. Because it contains obsidian artifacts from an ancient civilization, the cave is a historical tourist attraction. Paradise Lost Caves is made up of a number of chambers. The cave's walls are covered in crystals, stalactites, and stalagmites, as well as fossilized fish from millions of years ago.
