I've been told it's the largest forest within a city on the continent of Africa. Regardless, its a beautiful place to take a walk, play a couple of sets of tennis, rent a bike, visit the waterfall or dine at the upscale River Cafe, which is within the park. After two hours in Karura you'll definitely feel rejuvenated.
