Discover the magic of jungle bathing.

Event Details

Njigari Forest is in Othaya, Nyeri near Munyange Two Village. Njigari forest is part of the southern Aberdares Block. The southern block includes Njigari, Kihuri, Gatangu, and Gura Forest. Together they form a more prominent Zuti Forest. Locals refer to the Zuti forest as a Thuti Forest. The white man coined the name since he couldn't pronounce Thuti. Njigari Forest boasts a beautiful trail with a forest rain cover and a Bamboo section. Two powerful Waterfalls and River Thuti, which flows down to Athi and Tana, drain the Indian Ocean. The Waterfalls acted as a post office for Mau Mau Mau freedom fighters because of their exclusive location. 

The Trail is 18 Kilometres from the starting point. The Trail ends at Zuti forest, Plant Nursery.
