Tour Overview

The Mau Eburu Forest is part of the vast Mau Forest Complex, one of Kenya’s most important water catchment ecosystems. Despite its relatively small size, it is incredibly rich in biodiversity and is considered a key conservation area, supported by organizations like Rhino Ark. Situated on the slopes of Mount Eburu (2,820m), the forest overlooks Lake Naivasha, Lake Elementaita, and Lake Nakuru, offering a unique combination of highland forest, volcanic features, waterfalls, and rare wildlife.
