Karura Forest — Local services in Nairobi

Absolutely amazing! 🌳✨ The forest is a vibrant oasis filled with Indigenous trees, creating a refreshing breeze and a blissfully relaxing atmosphere, far away from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi city! 🏙️ We embarked on a thrilling nature walk that seemed endless – and what a fantastic workout it was! You can even bring along your favorite book 📚 and find cozy spots to dive into a good read. Feeling energetic? Go for a run or, better yet, grab a mountain bike with your friends for an exhilarating ride! 🚴‍♂️ It's such a fantastic way to exercise, unwind, and have an absolute blast!

Imagine pedaling through scenic paths while cool rivers flow alongside you, adding to the magic of the experience. There's just a small entrance fee, which helps keep the roads well-maintained. During our adventure, we were treated to an incredible sight – playful monkeys leaping from tree to tree and vibrant butterflies 🦋 of countless colors dancing all around us. It truly was a spectacular day! If you're looking for the perfect escape with friends or a loved one, I couldn't recommend this...

It is also a very child-friendly place with lots of activities for kids. There is also a restaurant (s) on site, though not aware how they operate but would definitely be a nice place to wake up to.

Super amazing place to visit. Nice, wide walking paths with improved dirt surfaces, so few tripping hazards. Paths are easy to navigate if you know where north is, and have a picture of the trail map/a copy of the trail map. Staff are friendly and helpful with getting you in and oriented within the trail system. The waterfall is especially a neat place to visit, and is worth the walk up.

We did not see any wildlife on a Sunday morning, but the group that went the day prior saw many monkeys and birds.

Ubering out from the city center was 400-600 KSH depending on the time of day, so affordable for the trip. Didn't have to wait too long either as there were several drivers in the area.

Google maps work well to assist with...
