Paradise Lost sits on the outskirts of Nairobi at Kiambu, a green fifty four acre site built around a network of prehistoric caves and a waterfall. The caves were used as a hideout by Mau Mau fighters during the struggle for independence, and guided walks take you through the chambers and out behind the falls.
Beyond the caves the grounds hold a boating lake, camel and horse riding, nature trails, fishing, a butterfly area and picnic lawns shaded by indigenous trees. It is a relaxed half day rather than a wildlife experience, and it is popular with Kenyan families at weekends, which makes it a good choice if you want to spend a day somewhere green without driving far. Entrance fees, transfers, mineral water and a guide are included.
