If you fancy a serene walk in a natural forest, away from the humming engines and a thousand footsteps, Ngare Ndare is the place to be. Located on the border between Meru and Laikipia, Ngare Ndare boasts trees that are more than 200 years old. It overlooks the well-known Borana and Lewa wildlife conservancies and a vital corridor for animals moving between Mount Kenya and the two conservancies.
