Tour Overview

Ngong Forest Sanctuary is one of the few forests in the world located within a major city. Situated just about 6 km from Nairobi Central Business District, it serves as a vital green lung for the city and a rich biodiversity hotspot.
This sanctuary offers a unique birdwatching experience where different habitats—dry evergreen forest, grasslands, gardens, and wetlands—converge. It’s ideal for both beginner and experienced birders looking for a quick yet rewarding nature escape within Nairobi.
