Our Story
Our Journey
Our story began in 2017 with a bold government tender application to lease a piece of the Ngubi Forest, within the greater Uplands forest system. Eight years later, after countless government offices, helpful staff, meticulous paperwork, and the support of many dedicated individuals, we have learnt lessons in patience, faith, and immense gratitude.
Today, our doors are finally open, and we are ready to welcome you to this wonderful piece of God's creation. We invite you to create memories, share adventures, and discover the wonder of this special forest alongside us.
A Sanctuary with a Purpose
Our vision is to lead as an eco-friendly sanctuary that harmonizes nature-based recreation with environmental stewardship. We are dedicated to empowering our local community and ensuring the long-term health of the Ngubi Forest.
At Ngubi, we offer more than adventure; we provide an opportunity to become an active contributor to conservation. Our success is inextricably linked to the well-being of the forest and the community that calls it home.

The Guides
Meticulous, passionate, and deeply connected to the land.
Stewards of the Escarpment
Behind every trail and every sensory journey at Ngubi is a dedicated group of conservationists, organizers, and forest lovers. Our guides are experts on the Uplands ecosystem, trained to bridge the gap between outdoor adventure and environmental education.
The team coordinates everything from complex group logistics to biodiversity monitoring in partnership with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS). We operate with a shared discipline rooted in faith and patience, maintaining a deep-seated gratitude for the opportunity to protect this piece of God’s creation.
Your time in the forest — whether for a school program, a mentorship retreat, or a quiet camping experience — is our priority. We are committed to ensuring every visit remains undisturbed, safe, and truly restorative for the soul.
