Ngare Ndare Forest
A hidden gem in the northern foothills of Mt. Kenya!
Ngare Ndare forest is a lush indigenous forest at the northern foothills of Mt. Kenya. Azure pools glisten at the bottom of waterfalls and 200 years old trees stretch into the canopy supporting a rich variety of bird and animal life. The forest is a vital corridor that links the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Northern Kenya to Mount Kenya forest reserve, and one which elephants have been using for centuries.
Ngare Ndare Forest Trust exists to ensure sustained conservation of Ngare Ndare forest and development of the surrounding communities. In maintaining the forest as a key water tower in northern Kenya, communities are involved in decision making to conserve wildlife and natural resources while improving their livelihoods.
Eco-tourism at its best!
Tree Canopy Walk
A 450 m long bridge suspended 30 feet above the ground, longest in East Africa. Visitors walk to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the forest, which ends on a high platform where one can view elephants and other wild animals drinking water from the swamp below.
Waterfalls
The forest has six natural blue pools and waterfalls hidden in the middle of the forest where one can swim and relax. The waterfall is about 30 feet.
Explore MoreBirds and Wildlife
The forest boasts of over two hundred species of birds, some being migratory. Rare spectacular birds like Hurtlabs turaco and the Narina trogon can be found here.
