Eburu Forest In Kenya Back From The Brink

There are few places where you can jump in a car, leave behind a city of millions and after only two hours’ drive find yourself in a pristine indigenous forest with substantial tracts of magnificent old trees and a rich forest floor carpeted with ferns, vines, grasses and abundant wildflowers.

Eburu Forest was gazetted in 1936 and falls under the Mau Forests Complex which is fully managed by the Kenya Forestry Services (KFS). Compared to other forests, Eburu is a small forest of 8,700 hectares on the rolling foothills, deep valleys and steep slopes of little known Mount Eburu. This prime indigenous forest nestles within the folds of a geologically active volcanic mountain. The mountain overlooks Lake Naivasha, Lake Elmentaita and Lake Nakuru and is the source of the Ndabibi River, numerous streams and ground springs.
