Well, it's true.. water does flow up the hill, a bottle of water rolls up the hill and a car driver who was passing by, put his car in neutral position and the car rolled up the hill. It really is a marvel. I met a local guide by the name of Albernas. They will show you all the phenomena for a very small fee... it's worth it. They fetch the water from a small stream that is flowing directly beneath the hill. Talk to the guides and you'll be quite happy you stopped by. Albernas is very patient and explains very well too.

I had heard the stories of this phenomenon but never even considered it to be likeky to say the least. Now here I was in a team of responsible people and witnessed it with my own eyes and even tested it, and it was real. It was stranger than any fiction I have read, and I Have read...
Read moreIt is my home place and generally in this hill water flows up the hill instead of down the hill. It is also lighter to drive up the hill than to drive down hill. Cars put on neutral gear here move by themselves towards uphill side. It is recommended you bring water to test yourself since here their is water shortage although you can never lack someone here willing to go and fetch the water for you from the kyamwilu ( as the local name of the village is) hidden water points. Come and see the magic with your own eyes and you will be able to see many more other tourist attraction sites in machakos county. N:B the place is not so far away from machakos town centre. Very...
