About the trail
Eburu Forest is a prime indigenous forest that overlooks Lake Naivasha to the south, Lake Elementaita to the North, and Lake Nakuru to the North West. The forest is nestled within the folds of a geologically active volcanic mountain, whose highest peak, Ol Doinyo Eburu, which stands 2,837m asl.
The Mau Eburu Forest covers the slopes of Mount Eburu – a striking, geologically active volcanic massive towering above the floor of the Great Rift Valley, northwest of Lake Naivasha. The forest vegetation is uncommonly rich in biodiversity, harbouring threatened fauna and flora.
In the language of the Masai people Eburru means ‘the smoking mountain’.
