Tim was very attentive and patient throughout our forest tour - he is a very lovely tour guide. The experience was even better than we expected with 5/5 service and there were no issues with pick up/drop off. The hike took about 2.5 hours, we saw the waterfalls and learnt a lot about the history of the forest. Very informative! Would highly recommend especially if you enjoy hikes and nature like us 😊
We’re grateful and delighted to have your tour feedback with guide Tim, glad you had a wonderful experience and happy you booked with us.
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.
We appreciate your feedback review and we appreciate your booking with us
Very nice to be able to walk in peace and security. Some trails are less well signposted.
Nous apprécions votre réservation avec nous, heureux que vous ayez apprécié la visite
Obed was a great guide. Very knowledgeable. We saw the waterfall and caves as well as a Colobus monkey!
We're very delighted and greatful you booked with us. Many thanks for booking with us.
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.
We're gladly and truly delighted to have your review, thanks for sharing and booking with us. Thanks for recommending Moses.
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.
We appreciate your review, many thanks for booking with us.
Great tour with a very knowledgeable and outgoing guide. I would highly recommend the tour, just don't bring any plastic water bottles.
We're very greatful for the opportunity to offer the tour, many thanks for the review and welcome to many other tours.
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.
We greatly appreciate your review and glad you enjoyed the tour. Many thanks for your booking.
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.
Many thanks booking with us, were happy you enjoyed the hike. Its a wonderful place to be on a hot day. We greatly appreciate the5star review.
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!
Its a wonderful previllage to have the opportunity to offer the tour. Our First Guest, were very greatful for the review. Many thanks.
