The forest is known for its unique ecosystem, which includes a canopy walkway suspended 20 meters above the ground and stretches approximately 450 meters through the forest.

This place boasts turquoise blue water approximately 3km from the start.

One can dive and swim in these pools, though the water can be quite cold.

The view of the forest combined with the waterfall is surely breathtaking and picturesque.

The water is said to come from an underground aquifer in Mount Kenya.

Overall this place is the ultimate adventurer paradise.

In recent years, Ngare Ndare Forest has become a popular destination for both local and international tourism.

This magical area truly deserves a visit.
