Forest Sanctuary Walk (Half Day Tour)
Ngong
Forest Sanctuary Walk; Ngong Forest Sanctuary
is one of only very few forests in the world that
exists within a city. Only 6 kilometers from Nairobi's
central business district, the forest is a precious
resource for Kenya's capital city. In an unusual and
dynamic move on the part of the Kenyan Government,
an area of 600 hectares of this urban forest has been
entrusted to the management of a private charitable
trust - the Ngong Forest Sanctuary Trust.
Ngong
Forest Sanctuary walk is great for those interested
in mammals, trees, wild flowers, birds or would like
