About the Trail

Join us for an awesome adventure at Mt Kenya National Park where we will visit Lake Ellis, Nithi Falls and Nithi Caves.

The hike starts at the Gate after a short stretch and is 7kms to the L.Ellis. Thereafter, the trail gets you right into the forest and takes you through the dense forest covered with both indigenous and man-made trees and to the scenic Nithi Falls. Nithi Falls is a very beautiful waterfall located inside Mt Kenya National Park.
