Ecotours

Our ecotours focus on environmental education, conservation, wildlife and habitat protection that offer interpretive experiences in-line with our principles and ethos and responsible tourism guidelines. We will help you connect with nature and immerse with the natural habitat that will bring lasting experiences and memories.

The site is usually culturally and biologically diverse and attracts tourists who have a common interest in nature, wildlife and culture. A fundamental element of an ecotour is the education of environmental issues such as, the protection of natural resources or endangered species, usually relevant to the destination. This may be conducted through lectures, involvement in conservation projects or simply by learning from a knowledgeable tour guide.

Beads have been an integral component of African history from time immemorial, we specialize in offering the best and most unique and pristine locations and properties for our guests’ safety and enjoyment and tailor-made to their needs and across East Africa. We consider an ecotour to be a trip that causes minimal impact to the environment and local people.

Oloolua Nature Trail: Hidden away in the up market suburb of Karen is 250 hectares of the indigenous tropical dry Oloolua forest that is home to the Institute of Primate Research (IPR). The National Museums of Kenya, the institution that runs this bio-medical research facility, established the 5km long Oloolua Nature Trail in part of this forest, providing an oasis of tranquility for city residents looking to escape the city hustle and bustle. The Oloolua Nature Trail is a favourite with visitors coming to do a short hike, to jog along the trail, to walk their dogs, or just for a relaxing picnic in this serene setting. Organized groups also come to learn about environmental conservation through guided tours in the forest. The Oloolua nature trail meanders through thick forest vines and undergrowth below giant indigenous trees and bushes, in some places following the course of the Mbagathi River that cuts through the forest. Giant riverside bamboo stands beckon you to descend some rickety stairs to the river and rest on benches built under the bamboo. Trickling water and chirping birds, the only sounds you hear as you rest, lull you into a reflective mood.
