Under Papyrus

Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) is a wetland plant that mankind has used for millenia. The ancient Egyptians found diverse uses for it including making paper, boats, baskets and even as food. Certain birds use its flowering heads for nesting.

 A dense stand of papyrus grows along the Mbagathi river in Oloolua Forest, towering up to three metres above the ground.
