Karura Forest Nature Trail
About Us
Karura forest rose to prominence in the nineties when the late conservationist and Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai single-handedly fought off a horde of Kenya’s infamous land grabbers who wanted to hive off a large chunk for private use. And it has since recovered its glory and is today widely regarded as one of the most gorgeous nature trails in Kenya.
Karura forest nature trail is rich with countless species of wildlife, lovely waterfalls, enigmatic caves, challenging hiking paths, and delightful picnic areas.
The forest covers about 1,041 ha and is just a stone throw away from Nairobi city center. It’s such an immensely beautiful place to walk in and clear your mind and it hosts a couple of hiking events Kenya.
