The Kagoro Forest is situated about 300 kilometres on the Kachia road, on Route to Jos, the road is quite good and winds up the Jos Plateau through Kagoro, the views of the Plateau and mountains are quite spectacular. The Kagoro hills which is over 1300m above sea levels is part of the north-central highlands.

Unfortunately the forest is now much denuded by indiscriminate cutting of trees for fire wood.

Some thickly forested area can still be found. and the area us still known for it's varied and beautiful bird life.
