Karura Forest

having a walk and coffee in the urban forest - and nearly spending the full night

Location: 

Karura Forest, Nairobi, Kenya

Duration:

Personal highlights

  1. Karura Forest: great recreational urban forest, filled with joggers and cyclists
  2. River Cafe: cute restaurant in the middle of the forest, all surrounded by green
  3. The entrance: having to friendly employees of the forestry service showing the way
  4. The way in: hustling about the entrance, non-residents pay way more as usual
  5. The way out: no way out in sight at dawn, forces me to jump over a small river
