  About Bamburi Nature Trails  
  Bamburi Forest Trails (Northern Quarry)
    Escape to our tranquil and cool Forest Trails and you can loose yourself in the beautiful surrounds of a lush environment that just a few years ago was a barren landscape, stripped of all fauna and flora.
    Located in the North Quarry, the Forest Trails cover a wide area of the Bamburi Quarries, some already rehabilitated whilst sections are still barren and in the early stages of reforestation, thus giving the visitor a clear and precise image and understanding of the process and enormity of the rehabilitation task.

Butterfly Pavillion
    Constructed in the shape of a butterfly, the Butterfly Pavilion houses over 12 variety of Kenyan butterflies. Here the visitor can explore every stage of the butterfly life cycle: from pupa to adult. There is also a nursery where plants are grown specifically for caterpillar feeding. Guides, with in-depth knowledge of these creatures and their life cycle, will explain the whole breeding process to you and convert you to a butterfly admirer with ease.

Walking
    The Leisure Walk invites for quiet walks through an ever changing landscapes, from empty quarries to lush forest, lakes and small streams, palm groves, and plantations of indigenous timber trees. It is marked with yellow rings on trees and poles. One ring marks the shortest route, additional rings show detours which increase the walking distance or lead to special attractions. Small boards set up along the way explain concepts and practices. Benches put along the way invite the visitors to relax in the peace and quiet of the quarry-turned-forest, or observe the ways and webs of life in the man-made ecosystem.

Mountain Biking
    The 8.3 km cycling route leads one through the lush, green Casuarina Forest to marvel at the awesome Baobab Tree and the various stages of the rehabilitation as well as the original bush land with its rich and varied bird life. Lucky cyclists may meet the domesticated eland herd on their way to or from the pasture.
The cycling route is marked with red rings on trees and poles. Mountain bikes are available for hire.

Jogging
    Like the leisure walk and the cycling trails, the Jungle Jogging route is a fascinating adventure through the ever changing forest environment that comprises the North Quarry. The route is marked clearly with blue markers, ensuring that people are always kept on track and are able to enjoy the experience of jogging through the lush forest. There is always the chance that you may see a small antelope, rare bird or reptile - keep your eyes peeled and your fitness excursion may become a wonderful nature adventure. Take in the beauty of the small lakes, the lush palm forests and the wooded areas alongside the paths. The Jungle jogging trail is 3.2 km long and follows a different route to the leisure walk and the cycling trail.

Specialised Tours
    Any manner of specialised tours can be arranged within the confines of the North Quarry - birding tours, sunset BBQ's or cocktails parties in secluded areas of the quarry, guided walking tours - the staff at Baobab Farm are able to pander to the whim of even the most discerning client - whether it be a couple or a group of 50 people. The only criteria for such tours is that we are notified of the requirements in advance so that the necessary planning can be done to ensure a memorable and wonderful experience. Other aspects of the Baobab Adventure may be linked to the activities of the Forest Trails to make your experience of the Baobab Farm complete and all encompassing.
