    Beautiful but quite muddy at this time of the day. Most of the pedestrian tracks were muddy or a bit flooded.

    Great place for hiking. You can check out the waterfall, the cave and more. There's also a cyclist track so you can go on a bicycle ride.

    Busy place, but it is in the middle of the city. Don't take single use water bottles, they check. Expensive for non-residents and tourist. Good bird sightings. Good cafe, next to car park inside forest. Has toilet blocks within forest area. Seems safe.

    Amazing such a place exists so close to the center of sutch a big city. Really quite, some parts are really beautiful but the waterfalls aren't really impressive. Nice to walk around for a few hours though. The more expensive entrance fee for foreigners is not nice.

    Amazing place to relax, refresh and restore yourself. The tree cover and great trails for running are just perfect

    Favorite side of Karura forest to hike in as it's more shaded than the Limuru side. I come once a week and have the family annual pass. It's definitely an oasis in Nairobi and amazing to see monkeys every week. Sometimes you can catch the dik diks running across the path. Mornings and around 4pm are the best times to go.

    Place to go for a walk and enjoy clean air as you watch birds and insects. You can also ride bikes if you like or just admire the trees

    Excellent place to spend the day. Walking, cycling and treking. Must wear comfortable and appropriate wear. Long walks and high altitude. Walks to caves and waterfalls could be slippery if it rains. Parking, toilets and cafe available.

    It's a lovely place to walk and has a special area where you can let the dog off the lead.

    Lovely place for a walk or a picnic. Horse riding also available. Signs in the forest show different distance routes. Perfect place to walk your dogs.

    The roads are just too straight. Nice environment though. You'll love it more when you are at the river

    Excellent place to go for a run through the woods here in the city. It feels like you're totally escaping. There are monkeys all around and other folks exercising. It's a great feeling!

    My favorite place in all of Nairobi! Less crowded and well maintained than big Karura, but utterly peaceful. A great place to take your dog for a walk, go for a long run or bike ride, or find a tucked away place to relax or have a picnic.

    Great for walks or runs. Very calm serene park in the city to get away from the hustle and bustle. There is a wonderful walking path with a small revine that hosts a beautiful waterfall and some cave like formations. The plants and animals life make for a refreshing experience.

    Simply amazing and beautiful. Within minutes you begin to feel relaxed as you inflate your lungs with the clean, fresh air. Hard to belive this is smack in the middle of a Capital city. This place definitely needs to be conserved for posterity.

    Amazing place to just go and think. The waterfall is like a light switch, it simply puts your mind at off and at ease!

    I love nature. If you have a passion for hiking and nature this is the place to go. Basically a gated forest. The entrance fee for residents is ksh.100. It has a toilet in the forest (thankfully). Don't forget to carry your own snacks and water.
