Rainforest Walk

This is one of the best walks that we offer our clients, it takes us through different routes across the indigenous rainforest located at the foothills of Mt. Meru which is not very far from the lodge. Oftentimes, we spot the rare black and white colobus monkeys and blue monkeys at close range. It is an experience you will not like to miss, the beauty of the landscape is breathtaking, with a brilliant climate, you can easily spot butterflies that are attracted by the natural springs in the forest and also several birds like hornbill or marabou storks and ibis. This walk will last for an estimated time of 2.5 hours and it can be combined with a visit to the local market which is in the nearby village on Sundays and on Thursdays.
