Being woken at 0600 by a biblical amount of rain isn’t the best time for an alarm clock after a night at HM the High Commissioner’s residence; however, the team had a fantastic rest day ahead of them – enjoying the natural beauty of Guyana and visiting Kaieteur Falls.
Kaieteur Falls is a natural masterpiece nestled within the Kaieteur National Park in the heart of Guyana. Towering over the pristine rainforest at an astounding 741ft (225m), Kaieteur is awe inspiring as the tallest single-drop waterfall in the world.
To get there the team was split in two, with half the on a commercial plane, and the other half on a Guyana Defence Force ‘grey tail’ plane which was very kindly organised by the President of the Guyanan Rifle Association, Brig Omer Khan.
After returning from the Falls, the team enjoyed enthusiastically breaking down barriers with locals, finishing with dinner in Georgetown.
