Event Details

🌿 Embark on an adventurous Bamboo Forest Trek in Aberdares! Starting from Njabini Forest Station, this 5-6 hour hike takes you through lush forests at an altitude of 2500m. Explore flat terrain, witness signs of cultivation, and encounter diverse wildlife. As you enter the bamboo zone, navigate through muddy trails and marvel at towering bamboo canopies.

Ascend to the summit at 3650m, then descend through rocky terrain with caution, appreciating the breathtaking beauty of the Aberdares.
