Kereita Forest Zipline Adventure – Day Trip from Nairobi

Your Kereita Forest day trip from Nairobi begins with a morning departure from the city. The drive takes you through the cool highlands of Limuru, known for its tea plantations, misty hills, and panoramic views of the Aberdare Range.

After approximately one hour, you’ll arrive at The Forest Adventure Centre, one of Kenya’s premier outdoor adventure destinations.

Start the day with a refreshing guided forest walk through Kereita Forest, a lush indigenous woodland.

Your guide will lead you through scenic trails surrounded by bamboo groves and towering trees. Along the way, you may encounter birds, colobus monkeys, and spectacular viewpoints over the valley below.

The walk also leads to a hidden forest waterfall, where guests can relax, take photos, and enjoy the cool mountain atmosphere before the adrenaline activities begin.

Culminate this scenic trail with a tree planting exercise that helps restore the forest, and keep it alive for the next generaion.

The highlight of the day is the thrilling Flying Fox Zipline Tour, widely considered the best ziplining experience near Nairobi.

After a safety briefing from trained instructors, you’ll gear up for the multi-line zip course stretching 2.2 kilometers across forest valleys.

Some of the most exciting lines include:

• Colobus Catapult – one of the fastest lines, reaching speeds of up to 60 km/h
• Eagle’s Nest – soaring high above the forest canopy
• Flying Elephant – a fast glide with views of distant waterfalls
• Big Sky – offering sweeping views toward Mount Kenya on clear days

Between lines, short forest treks connect the platforms, making the experience both an adrenaline activity and a scenic nature exploration.

After the zipline adventure, enjoy a relaxing lunch at the scenic The Forest Restaurant.

The restaurant overlooks the valley and serves fresh meals made with locally sourced ingredients. It’s the perfect place to recharge while enjoying the cool forest air.

After lunch, guests can choose to explore additional Kereita Forest activities, including:

• Mountain biking along forest trails
• Archery sessions with professional instructors
• Paintball games for groups and teams
• Horse riding through the forest
• Footgolf, a fun hybrid of football and golf

These optional activities make the experience ideal for groups looking for a full day of outdoor adventure.

In the late afternoon, begin the relaxed drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the early evening after an action-packed forest adventure.
