The Forest Kereita: The Ultimate Outdoor Escape Near Nairobi
City life gets loud. Sometimes you just need to breathe; not through traffic fumes or over a rushed lunch break, but under tall trees, above the canopy, with mud on your shoes and your phone forgotten in your bag. That’s where The Forest Adventure Centre and Restaurant comes in, and it’s now live on the KenyaBuzz Experiences section of the website - https://kenyabuzz. com/experiences.
Set deep in Kereita Forest, The Forest is where adventure meets the calm you didn’t know you needed. It’s home to East Africa’s longest zipline tour—2.2km of pure adrenaline, flying high through treetops. There’s also a shorter version for those easing in, and a kids’ zipline for the little thrill seekers.
But that’s just the start. You can enoy paintballing, try archery, cycle through forest trails on mountain bikes (rent one or bring your own), or challenge your squad to a round of footgolf. If you are feeling grounded and would prefer
a nice peaceful experience there are also activities such as guided nature walks, tree planting and horse riding through the forest paths.
One may argue that one day is not enough for them to explore all these activities. Therefore, The Forest has provided a package where you can Pitch a tent and sleep under a sky full of stars. And when the hunger hits, the canopy-view restaurant is ready with tasty meals and unbeatable views.
Whether it’s a weekday escape, a holiday plan, or just a “why not” moment, The Forest is open every week from Thursday to Sunday and holidays. Now bookable through KenyaBuzz Experiences.
