Getting Closer to Nature - Moses was my driver and guide. I found him to be well-informed, friendly, and helpful. The Waterfalls and the Caves are main attractions. But walking through the forest with Moses' helpful explanations of the trees and greenery along with the need to preserve them were an important part of enjoying the tour.

Forest Walk with Special Fttractions - I think the Falls and the Caves are the special attraction; and that proved to be true for me. I also enjoyed the walk and my guide's explanations of the greenery.

Knowledge guide - Great tour with a very knowledgeable and outgoing guide. I would highly recommend the tour, just don't bring any plastic water bottles.

A wonderful nature experience - A fantastic park to recreate in. Me and my wife walked after the map we bought at the entrance and experienced both caves and waterfalls. The trails are well marked and it is very easy to navigate around the park. However, one tip is to buy the map at the entrance if you want to quickly find the right one.

Beautiful Low Key Nairobi Afternoon - We had an incredible hike around a nature park, visiting a waterfall and learning about native (and non-native!) plant species in the park. Especially on a hot day, being in the tree cover is a great way to experience nature in Nairobi. We were lucky enough to see an endangered colobus monkey swinging through the forest, as well as another species we didn’t identify. We had an excellent set of drinks at the River Cafe and some great snacks as well. It’s a wonderful park and Moses is a great companion/guide on the tour.

Adventurous and Calming Forrest visit - Amazing visit to the Forrest with my guide Peter. He’s a true nature expert, which made my visit so much better. We rode bikes while he educated me about different birds, trees and insects. We went down to the beautiful waterfall. And ended the trip at the cafe which has tons of food options. Very happy that I booked this activity in Nairobi!

Great hiking place in Nairobi - Me and my son hiked here about 15km and 3,5 hours. A peaceful forest inside of Nairobi's wealthy area. Waterfall and caves are highlights of this hiking trail. If you are Lucky, you can see some monkeys during hiking and lot of butterflies.
