"The prolific Wangari Mathai projected and liberated Karura Forest. This beloved forest - about 2,630 acres is a great space to escape for a run with your dog or simply take a walk with the family. Take a picnic in the lovely park and walk in nature in a mostly undisturbed forest." - New Colony Studio
"Nairobi's Karura Forest Right in the heart of Nairobi, the Karura Forest isa tranquil oasis with fragranteucalyptus trees, open expanses of wild grassland, a waterfall, and hundreds of types of wildlife, including birds, monkeys, and even antelope. On weekends, Nairobians walk their dogs here, cycle the dirt tracks with their families (bike rentals are available), and walk the many trails throughthis 2,500-acre urban wilderness. Enter via the Limuru Road entrance for the waterfall and for access to the River Café, and via Peponi Road to enjoy a quieter side of the forest."

Safe park/forest for a jog or a walk in the nature. Guards and staff are friendly and helpful.

Great place to get away from the diesel fumes of the city. Quite heavily shaded by a canopy of trees, making it a nice place to cool down too. We spotted deer(?) and monkeys.

Aside from the scenic nature trails, Karura Forest also has a hidden gem—a charming café where you can unwind with refreshing virgin cocktails (not all😇) and light bites after your walk!
