The children from Kibathi School had an incredible time exploring the forest, where they not only had fun but also gained valuable knowledge about forest conservation. They were guided through various interactive activities that taught them about the importance of preserving natural ecosystems, the role of trees in maintaining a healthy environment, and the impact of deforestation. It was a hands-on experience that deepened their understanding of nature and inspired them to become passionate advocates for protecting our forests and wildlife. The day was filled with excitement, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility for the environment.
We were honored to host the head teachers from Westlands sub-county to explain our education programs and explore the forest. It wasn’t their usual routine of overseeing classrooms, managing timetables, or organising school activities, instead it was a rare opportunity for reflection—a retreat to reconnect with nature. The head teachers marveled at the diversity in the forest, how each tree, plant, and insect played a vital role in creating a balanced ecosystem. We hope we can host the children in their schools in the near future.
KFEET was delighted to participate in the annual celebration of wildlife conservation organized by Friends of Karura.
This global event highlighted the importance of protecting wildlife and their natural habitats, and we were proud to be a part of it. During the event, we took part in the wildlife census of Karura Forest, applying transect sampling as part of our efforts to monitor and protect the diverse species that inhabit this vital ecosystem. The census provided valuable data on the health of the forest and its wildlife.
This exercise brought together a variety of organizations, researchers, and individuals who are deeply passionate about wildlife conservation and dedicated to preserving our planet’s biodiversity for future generations.

The auditorium at the Karura Forest Education Center is truly breathtaking! As you step inside you’re immediately struck by its stunning design. The walls are adorned with vibrant murals reflecting the flora and fauna of this urban forest. Insects, butterflies, birds, monkeys, and lianas seem to come alive, beautifully painted to represent the rich diversity. These murals create an immersive experience, evoking the feeling of taking a walk through the forest itself.
Cascading waterfalls and lush green foliage add learning experience, bringing Karura’s biodiversity to life. It’s a testament to the beauty and richness of nature, all woven into the very fabric of the space. Truly, the Karura auditorium is a must-see gem!
