EXPERIENCES THIS WEEK Paintballing in Nairobi: The Forest Adventure Centre in Kereita Forest

R

eady for an outdoor adventure that combines action, strategy, and pure adrenaline? Paintballing at The Forest Adventure Centre and Restaurant in Kereita Forest is one of Kenya’s most exciting outdoor experiences, and it is the perfect outing for friends, families, corporate teams, and thrill-seekers looking for something genuinely memorable.

Each one-hour session includes 100 paintballs and is available to book now on KenyaBuzz.

What Is Paintball?

Paintball is a fast-paced outdoor team game where players compete using specially designed markers that shoot harmless, biodegradable paint-filled pellets. Depending on the game mode, teams work together to capture the flag, eliminate opponents, or defend their base, all while planning strategy on the fly and adapting to whatever chaos unfolds around them.

It is easy to learn, impossible to play without laughing, and

genuinely difficult to do only once.

Adventure in the Heart of Kereita Forest The Forest Adventure Centre is one of Kenya’s

leading outdoor adventure destinations, set within the stunning natural landscape of Kereita Forest just outside Nairobi. Paintball is one of many experiences available

on site, making it an ideal destination for a full day out rather than a single activity visit.

Other experiences at the centre include:

�East Africa’s longest zipline �Archery �Horse riding �Mountain biking �Footgolf �Nature walks

�Tree planting �Team-building experiences After an action-packed day, guests can unwind at the centre’s scenic canopy-view restaurant, rounding off the outing with food and views in equal measure.
