MORE DETAILS
The hike will start at the Central block of the main gate. The trail leads us into thick dry upland forest up and down scenic valleys. Hiking further into the forest the vegetation changes to highland montane forest which leads to a valley of nettles before making a sharp ascent to a more flattened ridge. After the ridge, the trail shall lead us into another valley with crystal clear stream running southwards. It is at this point we shall make another sharp ascent leading you to the top of the ridge to form the last stretch of our trek. The trail then leads us to the starting point downhill through 3 scenic ridges along the fence.
The forest forms part of the catchment for L.Naivasha and Elementaita with several ground springs and is also a source of Ndabibi River and other small springs.
