At the base of Mount Kenya, there lies a rich indigenous forest called Ngare Ndare Forest. A wide variety of birds and other animals can be found among the 200-year-old trees that stretch into the canopy and the pools of blue water that sparkle at the base of waterfalls. Elephants have been traversing the forest as a crucial corridor for millennia, connecting Mount Kenya and the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. The Mount Kenya UNESCO World Heritage Site been expanded to include Ngare Ndare
Ngare Ndare offers a range of ecotourism activities including forest walks, tree canopy walks, rock climbing, game drives, bird watching, and waterfalls.

The Ngare Ndare Hiking Adventure will begin by an agent from Olengugih Safaris picking you up from any location in Nairobi or Nanyuki, then drop you off at our campsite for the night. Activities include hiking, animal spotting, canopy walk, swimming in a natural blue pool and overnight accommodation or camping on request. Please bring what you would like to wear for the whole day – hiking shoes, light jacket and sun hat are necessary if it’s going to be cooler outside than expected.
Set out from Nairobi at 6:00 am or another time of your choosing, and travel north into the fertile central highlands. Along with some of Kenya’s largest pineapple fields and orchards, you will pass roadside shops selling fresh fruit and vegetables.
We shall have a stop at the line of the equator in Nanyuki. Nanyuki town, located in the geographic center of Kenya, is famous for having an equator point, to which throngs of visitors and locals alike flock to stand. However, the community organizes an experiment to show how the Coriolis effect operates for those who are technically interested. the next step was to proceed via Nanyuki Town to the Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve.
We shall arrive at Ngare Ndare around 10:30 in the morning. We shall be given a guide and an armed ranger when you get in the forest. We will embark on a 7-kilometer journey to the well-known waterfalls following a brief introduction to the forest and the Ngare Ndare Forest Trust. There are 7 waterfalls in the woodland. You’ll be stunned in front of the waterfalls’ magnificence. We’ll continue our journey to a much smaller waterfall, but this one is particularly lovely because swimmers can jump into the pool below. The canopy walk will subsequently be our next stop. The longest and highest canopy walk in East Africa, it is 10 meters high and 450 meters long.
The shaky bridge adds to the excitement of what is typically people’s favorite moment of the journey. There are likely to be elephants and leopards in the big forest.
