Karura Forest is an urban oasis in the heart of Nairobi that offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a fitness buff, or just looking for a tranquil spot to unwind, Karura has something for everyone! Highlights of My Visit: - 🌿 Breathtaking Scenery: The lush greenery, serene waterfalls, and picturesque trails make every step an adventure. The sheer beauty of this place is a feast for the eyes and soul. - 🐒 Wildlife Galore: From the chirping of birds to the sight of monkeys swinging through the trees, the forest is teeming with life. It's like stepping into a different world. - 🚴 Activities for All: Whether you're into biking, jogging, or simply strolling, the well-maintained paths cater to all preferences. The picnic spots are perfect for a family outing or a peaceful moment alone. A Little Speed Bump 🚗 One thing to be mindful of is the stretch between Limuru Road Gate and KFEET. Cars tend to speed here, so it's important to stay vigilant, especially if you're with children or pets. It's a small hiccup in an otherwise perfect outing, but something to watch out for to ensure your safety. Final Thoughts: Karura Forest is a gem that promises a rejuvenating experience with every visit. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy some outdoor fun.

I have visited Karura forest for more than ten times now and every time i visit i desire to visit more of it. Karura serves as a perfect destination for a nature get away next to the busy Nairobi city full of noise. It has a serene feeling that you experience as you do nature walks within the forest. Karura is well managed with benches strategically positioned at various points the forest. On these benches i often find couples and friends having rests as part of their hike. There's a river that flows within the forest and dropping over a spectacular waterfall along the beautiful valley. Top fun activities that you can do in the forest include, nature walk, jogging, bike riding, field and team building games among others. The entrance fee to the forest is very affordable going for as low as 100ksh.If you are thinking of having a quality outdoor getaway near the city, think Karura forest. It's fun and good enough for you and your family.

Discover forest bathing in the midst of Nairobi City! Karura Forest Reserve is the city’s largest green area. In this post, we’ll talk about the Karura forest location. In addition, we will share what you can do in Karura Forest and how much it costs. Karura is a great escape for Layover Tours. Also, if you are on a business trip to Nairobi and have a few hours, it would be a great spot to connect with nature. The Kenya Forest Service and the Friends of Karura Community Forest Association take care of the forest.

The river that flows in karura forest alone is enough to heal your inner self, it gives all the vibes that is required for healing, the water fall 🍂 provides a cool environment that provides music like rhythm that is useful for meditation , I'm in love with karura forest, the entry fee is 100 Kenya shillings for Kenya citizens and its open daily from 7 am to 5 pm.

If you want to unwind, you love nature and also know how to ride a bicycle. Everything is therapeutic. Don't go on a rainy season. Carry snacks with you, I highly recommend one to drive themselves there. Using a matatu can be strenuous. Carry your earpods and vibe to your music. If you have friends, ask them to accompany you. It's an amazing place❤️❤️

So much to do here! But just know that you need your ID to do some activities like riding the bike. Otherwise you could go for a walk, run or have a picnic. Best to go as a group but generally there are people throughout the day so it’s pretty hard to get lost plus the routes are marked properly!
