Mau Forest Complex

Mau Forest Complex sits within Kenya’s Rift Valley and is the largest indigenous montane forest in East Africa. Mau Forest is a critical water catchment in Kenya as numerous rivers originate from the forest including Southern Ewaso Ng’iro, Sondu River, Mara River, and Njoro River. These rivers feed Lake Victoria, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Natron. Western slopes of the Mau Escarpment are covered by Mau Forest
