Just 95kms out of Nairobi, the Tana River has
some excellent rapids. A rafting trip on the river offers a combination
of 16 kms of White Water (up to Class V in season) and 12 km of clear
river ideal for calm drifts through spectacular scenery. The rafting on
this stretch of river is ideal for first time rafters, and is an
excellent taster for Kenya’s other white water adventures. The drifts
are a good opportunity for bird watching, and over 100 species have been
recorded along the riverbanks. If you are looking for an adventurous

Ragia Forest Trek
Kenya is considered as one of the world’s major
biodiversity countries due to abundance and diversity of species in our
forests. Among these forests is Ragia forest which form part of the
Aberdare forest ecosystem that has spectrum of flora and fauna that
include a variety of endemic species and sub species. Ragia forest is
located in Lari sub county of Kiambu county and it is approximately 90
Km North of Nairobi. It is accessed from Flyover- Magumu-Njabini road.
It boarders Kieni forest to the East and Kinangop plateau to the West in
Nyandarua county, Kamae forest to the south and Kinangop forest to the
North. The forest is managed by Kenya Forest Service and covers an area
of 4250.21 ha.
The Ragia circuit starts at Sasumua Dam through Chinas camp gate. It then proceeds deep into thick bamboo and follows elephant trails down the valley to pipeline leave way. The trail follows the leave way and suddenly makes a steep drop to Sasumua River which leads to a magnificent waterfall called no 18. From the waterfall, the trail leads to sharp descent that leads back to the pipeline way leave which forms better part of the trail which again leads to a cascading waterfall and famous Mau Mau cave where Mau Mau generals like Field marshal Dedan Kimathi and general China used to hide.
From the waterfall, the trail leads you out of the forest through the thick bamboo forest while walking along a forest road. The whole circuit takes approximately 7 hours.
