More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning air tastes of dust and eucalyptus as the convoy leaves Nairobi, the city shrinking behind you and the Rift Valley widening like a promise. By mid-morning the canopy of Kereita Forest folds overhead: a room of trunks and ferns where birds choreograph the light. Here—halfway between cultivated farms and the raw escarpment—you clip into a harness and run a palm over the zipline’s steel cable. For a few seconds the forest exhales beneath you, and East Africa’s longest zipline sends you skimming above gullies and waterfalls with the valley laid out in steps below.
