Ngare Ndare Forest

Ngare Ndare Forest is a nature preserve in Meru County in Kenya's Eastern Province.

[5][6] The preserve is an ecotourism destination, offering swimming in natural pools fed by waterfalls, and wildlife observation from a 450-metre (1,480 ft) bridge in the tree canopy, the longest in East Africa.

[4] Tourists can camp on or below a wildlife observation platform mounted in a tree 7 metres (23 ft) off the ground.

[7] The preserve is administered by Ngare Ndare Forest Trust, formed in 2004, which organises tree planting,[8] maintains the fence which was installed in the 1990s to minimise human–wildlife conflicts, and assists local communities with biogas cooking stoves, development funds from tourism, and employment.

[6][9] Ngare Ndare means "water for the goats" in Maasai,[10] but is often translated "waterfall of the gods".
