our feet leave the platform, gravity takes over, and suddenly, the forest isn’t something you walk through, it’s something you soar above. Even better, thanks to KenyaBuzz, the rush of gliding above… Your feet leave the platform, gravity takes over, and suddenly, the forest isn’t something you walk through, it’s something you soar above. Even better, thanks to KenyaBuzz, the rush of gliding above Kereita’s treetops is only a click away! Technically, this zipline experience isn’t just one ride; it’s a series of six. Each line delivers a different mix of speed, distance, and adrenaline, with the longest
stretching an impressive 2.2 kilometers; the second longest in Africa (after South Africa). Suspended high above the forest canopy, you’ll take in sweeping views of one of Kenya’s most breathtaking landscapes, all less than an hour from Nairobi. Operated by Flying Fox and built to the highest international safety standards, the Kereita zipline guarantees not just adrenaline but peace of mind. Friendly guides walk you through every step, from gearing up in your harness to that heart-racing moment when you take off from the platform. Nervous? The expert guides will ease you into the adventure with smaller lines before building up to
the record-breaking run. What makes this experience unforgettable is not just the thrill of flight but the unique perspective it gives; you’re not looking at the forest, you’re part of it. The cool wind rushing past, the echo of laughter in the treetops, and the sheer freedom of soaring hundreds of feet in the air turn fear into exhilaration. And the adventure doesn’t end when the ride does. The Forest, Kereita, offers a full day of fun, featuring activities such as paintball, archery, mountain biking, camping, and nature walks. It’s the perfect mix of heart-racing activity and laid-back escape, whether you’re chasing an adrenaline rush or a peaceful retreat. Book your zipline experience and any other experience offered at the Forest Adventure Centre and Restaurant through the userfriendly, intuitive new booking platform on KenyaBuzz.
