OLOOLUA NATURE TRAIL...

You love short hikes, jogging, nature walks, fun & networking with friends? Our Next Outdoors activity is in a cool place located in Karen Outcasts... Trails, Caves, Waterfall & forest...

WHEN: 18th January 2013
WHERE: Oloolua Nature Trail
Meeting Point: Hilton Hotel, Bata Shop
Time: 9.00am
 The Oloolua Nature Trail is a favourite with visitors coming to do a short hike, to jog along the trail, or just for a relaxing picnic in this serene setting which has caves, a water fall & and cool serene environment with picnic sites to have fun and mingle with new friends

ATTRACTIONS:
 - The Oloolua nature trail meanders through thick forest vines and undergrowth below giant indigenous trees and bushes, in some places following the course of the Mbagathi River that cuts through the forest. Giant riverside bamboo stands beckon you to descend some rickety stairs to the river and rest on benches built under the bamboo. Trickling water and chirping birds, the only sounds you hear as you rest, lull you into a reflective mood.

- Further along the trail close to the river, you encounter a 33m long cave. If you brought a flashlight with you, an exploration of this dark subterranean world takes you through numerous underground caverns reputed to have once been home to Mau Mau freedom fighters during the colonial period of Kenya’s History. A thick pile of guano underfoot and the occasional disturbance of bats flitting past you bring to your attention the existence of a bat colony within.

- A papyrus swamp further down the river offers a further glimpse into the rich biodiversity of this indigenous forest. From here on, the trail climbs out of the river valley, occasional bursting upon glades bathed in bright sunlight before diving back under the canopy of the cool forest cover.
