Karura is Nairobi’s largest and most accessible remnant tract of upland dry forest. As recreational green space, it gives people a welcome respite from the stresses of city living, while delivering essential ecosystem services.
This comprehensive, beautifully illustrated Visitors’ Guide tells the story of how, against all the odds, Karura has survived – and of how, over recent years, it has been transformed from a ‘no-go’ zone frequented by criminals into one of Nairobi’s safest and best loved leisure haunts.
Karura’s many attractions are showcased – along with the forest’s ecology and its astonishing biological diversity.
