- Karura Forest - The tour begins with a pick-up from your Nairobi hotel at 8 AM.
Upon entering the forest, the adventure starts with either a walk or a bike ride. The guide will introduce you to the various species of trees, birds, and the unique sights and sounds. Explore the waterfalls, caves, and the riparian site. There are ample walking trails offering breathtaking views to enjoy. The trails range from fifteen kilometers, ten kilometers, to five kilometers. Additionally, the forest features a 12-kilometer biking trail. Both biking and walking trails take you through lush forest areas, waterfalls, caves, and streams. The trails are well-marked and color-coded according to their length.
Numerous picnic benches are available within the park for relaxation. The reserve also boasts several points of interest, both historical and ecological. In the 1990s, the Central Bank operated an incinerator on the property to destroy decommissioned currency, and the old chimney remains visible. The sacred caves served as hideouts for the Mau-Mau freedom fighters, and Lily Lake marks the location of an abandoned quarry.
