Oldoinyo Eburru Forest Hike

Imagine stepping out of the hot, bustling plains of Naivasha into a world of misty forest, towering trees, and birdsong so vivid it feels like the forest itself is welcoming you. This is Eburru Forest, a hidden gem where every step along the 22km Western Summit Trail is a journey deeper into nature's embrace. Your adventure begins with a gentle 5km walk along a forest road. Soon, the trail rises into thick bamboo groves and ancient forest, where you might spot rare wildlife, over 40 species of mammals call this forest home, including the elusive, critically endangered mountain bongo. As you push higher, the moderate-to-hard climb rewards your effort with the Western Summit at 2,856m, where volcanic peaks and craters stretch as far as the eye can see.
