The Ngare Ndare Forest serves as an essential elephant migration pathway, linking the Lewa Conservancy to the Mt Kenya Forest, a route that has been in use for ages.\n\nThe forest stands out as the sole native forest in Kenya featuring a canopy that is continuously growing, composed of native species such as the African olive and the Red Cedar, some of which are over two centuries old.\n\nFollowing the trek, visitors can experience the Canopy Walkway. This is an elevated bridge, 40 feet above the ground, constructed with wire mesh and cables, which snakes through the forest canopy for 450 metres.\n\nIn summary, the day’s activities include:\n- A brief trek\n- A dip in the natural blue pools\n- A stroll along the canopy walk

Gorgeous! Definitely go if able! - This is an incredible spot to see if you have the time. It felt like a very cool and unique experience to have in Kenya. The hike is easy and swimming in the pools is paradise. They were beautiful as advertised. They got a little cloudy as more people swam, but still blue and lovely. The canopy walk was a bit more thrilling than expected and cool. It was fun to make a stop at the equator (be prepared for aggressive shopkeepers here - fun if you like to barter).
Charity took great care of us. She and our driver were kind, helped us with water and were great to talk to and travel with.
Just be warned, this is a lot of time in the car (about 10 hours round trip from the Garden City Mall area), so make sure you have the time and endurance for that part of it.
