Guided walk in Karura Forest with Karura Falls, Mau Mau caves, wildlife spotting, a canopy walk, and a picnic, starting near City Hall.

“This tour was perfect and exceeded my expectations. Ishmael is an excellent guide, and everything was well organized. He is also very flexible with special requests. The forest is a beautiful, peaceful area that I recommend to anyone looking to escape the city for a few hours. Ishmael shared fascinating insights about the history of the forest, and we enjoyed some great conversations. By the end of the tour, it felt like I had spent the morning with a friend rather than just a guide. Thank you for this wonderful experience!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 11 reviews · 1h 30m · from $90

Ride Karura Forest from Sigiria Gate for 90 minutes, guided horse tour with helmet, wildlife chances, and beginner-friendly coaching.

“We had a wonderful horse riding experience in Karura Forest with David and Moffats as our guides. The forest itself was beautiful, peaceful, and calm, with lovely views all along the way. Since it was our first time riding, we really appreciated how patient and attentive they were walking alongside us the whole time to ensure we felt safe and comfortable. The horses were well cared for, and the whole experience felt relaxed and unhurried. Just a heads-up for anyone planning to visit, there’s a forest entry fee, and if you’re a non resident, there’s an additional fee. Totally worth it for the serenity and the great guidance we received!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 4 reviews · 1 day · from $95

A guided walk in Nairobi's Karura Forest, with caves, waterfalls, wildlife spotting, and time to hike or bike in a city oasis.

“Not worth the Price. The description says 1-day activity, it only took two hours from Pick-up to drop-off at the hotel again. Nice driver and guide, but the trip only includes a 5km hike on total. You are better off if you take a trip to the forrest on your own, pay the entrance fee and then enjoy a half/whole day as you like. And also, No drinking water.”
