Kakamega Forest National Reserve
The only tropical forest left in Kenya
Home » Destinations » National Reserve »
Kakamega Forest National Reserve, a remnant of the rain forest that once spanned throughout Central Africa, has been frozen in time. Bush pigs, gigantic forest hedgehogs, colobus monkeys, Debrazzar monkeys, and pottos are among the creatures that call this lovely forest home. The Blue Headed Bee Eater, Black Billed Turaco, Turner’s Eremomela, and Grey Parrots are among the birds that can be spotted here. In the serenity of the forest that time forgot, you may go bird viewing, hiking, and rock climbing.
