Ngong Road Forest Birding
A private walking birding day in Ngong Road Forest, following maintained trails through dry evergreen woodland just six kilometers from central Nairobi.
About this tour
Ngong Road Forest lies about six kilometers from central Nairobi and covers roughly 1,224 hectares. The Mutuini and Ruara seasonal rivers cross the forest, which occupies a transition between grasslands to the east and south and cultivated areas to the north and west.
Birding is entirely on foot along maintained nature trails through relatively open dry evergreen woodland. The habitat supports forest, garden, grassland and water-associated birds. African Crowned Eagle has nested in the forest for several years, while Eastern Bronze-naped Pigeon may gather in the cold season and Golden-tailed Woodpecker has also been recorded.
Suni, duikers, Bushbuck and Olive Baboon are among the possible mammals. The forest was once more continuous between Nairobi National Park and Ngong Hills but is now divided into five sections by the southern bypass. Trail choice depends on access, recent bird activity and the group’s pace.
