Amuse Kenya Holiday Camp
Amuse Kenya runs its holiday camp from the Sigiria gate of Karura Forest, taking children aged 2 to 14 through guided outdoor activities, nature exploration and games among the trees each school holiday. Drop-off is from 8:30am with the day starting at 9am, and families can choose a half day finishing at 1pm or a full day running to 3pm. It also runs birthday parties, school trips and team-building days from the same base outside camp season.
Good to know: Book ahead — spaces per session are limited, and half-day and full-day are priced separately.
