Everything you need to know about thrilling Ziplining at The Forest Kereita
Updated in February 2025
I celebrated my birthday a couple of weeks ago and wanted to do something different, something fun, and, most importantly, to pump some adrenaline into my system. I decided to go ziplining at the Forest, which boasts the longest zipline in Kenya. We arrived at The Forest, and I was ready to zipline—or so I thought.

Ziplining at the Forest, Kereita
First Impressions
We were greeted by cheerful employees who pointed us to the reception. We went to the stunning eco-friendly building that houses the restaurant and the reception.
Check out some of the photos of the restaurant and environs from The Art of Wanderlusting.







There is a playground area right next to the restaurant and some bicycle trails.





Safety First

This was right after signing the liability waiver forms which gave me goosebumps. Some clauses mentioned dying and falling on dangerous flora, which almost made me chicken out. Did you know zip lines are referred to as death slides in some parts of the world?
After coming to terms with the risks that we might face, we were taken for a practice run on a mini zipline, which was more nerve-wracking than the actual run. Way to calm my nerves! The instructors checked and fastened each of our gears. They then answered all questions after demonstrating how to zipline.

So off we went.

Ready set go!

At this point, I was screaming my lungs out! Here I was, gliding over canopies, the air beneath my legs and for a split second everything stopped still, and at that moment, that brief moment, everything was perfect. With endless green hills, golden rays, and a clear blue sky, I forgot I was suspended mid-air for a second.

There I was flying high enjoying the view and in what seemed like a few seconds the ride was over. Immediately after everyone had crossed over to the other side, we were prepared to go back, this time girls first!

The second ride was much better, maybe because we all knew what to expect,t but that did not make it any less exhilarating. Adrenaline still shoots through you, so much so that some of the people in our group decided to try some stunts. The thrill was fantastic and right after, I felt like I could conquer anything thrown my way!

Things to note about Ziplining at The Forest
- Follow instructions. Remember that ziplining is a high-risk activity.
- Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. For the ladies, trousers, shorts or leggings are best.
- Ensure you book earlier because the place gets packed especially on weekends and holidays. If you can go on a weekday, do so, but don’t forget to call before making your trip.
- Lastly, have fun! Scream if you can and enjoy the ride.
If you have never gone ziplining, you definitely should. I highly recommend ziplining at the Forest. Enjoy the beautiful scenery as you glide across the longest ziplines in the region. High safety standards are assured and there is no need to worry. It was so much fun, I cannot wait to go back and perhaps do the six lines, and probably paintball.
