Karura Forest is Nairobi's oasis

Jambo！ (Hello in Swahili)
I am a university student studying in Kenya!
This time, I would like to introduce you to the Karula Forest, a rich natural area located in the capital city of Nairobi, which I visited with my university classmates.

What is the Karula Forest?

Karura Forest is a forest reserve located on the outskirts of the capital, Nairobi.
You can feel the quiet and rich nature as if you were free from the noise of Nairobi.

When I first visited, I doubted my eyes, wondering if this lush green forest was Africa! (laughs)
It is hard to believe that Africa, which has a strong image of dryness, is spread out with abundant greenery.
It is a place of relaxation loved by people mainly for tourists and locals, such as walking, jogging, and walking pets.
Therefore, travelers can feel safe in the Karura Forest to experience the nature of Kenya.

Refresh away from the hustle and bustle of the city
The moment I entered the Karura Forest, I felt surrounded by greenery 360°!
If I were to express it, it would be "a dense forest," wouldn't it?
In the nature that cannot be felt in the city of Nairobi, I feel as if both my body and mind have become a little lighter.
Nairobi is a place where the sounds of cars and clubs echo until midnight, so once you visit Karura Forest, you'll be captivated by the tranquility and the sounds of animals resonating in the nature filled with negative ions.

Various ways to enjoy

And the Karula Forest is not only forested, but also rich in tourist attractions!
If you are lucky enough to see wild monkeys due to the rich nature, there are also waterfalls and caves, so you can enjoy exploring the vast forest.
When I visited, the road was bad after the rain, but when I arrived at the waterfall spot, the waterfall with a lot of water was very powerful in front of me!
This is the nature of Kenya, Africa! I was very satisfied.

The forests in the ward are maintained and managed, and you will be fascinated by the beautiful greenery that you can walk on safely.
In addition, there is a café in the forest, so there is no doubt that you can spend a relaxing time surrounded by nature!
There is also a lawn area, so you can lie down, have a picnic, and enjoy a variety of other activities!
The Karula Forest offers all-day fun.

You can explore the forest at your leisure, look for animals, or spend time at a café when you're hungry!
When you come to Kenya, be sure to refresh yourself by feeling the rich nature of the Karura Forest with your whole body!
