Kakamega Forest

Kakamega Forest is Kenya’s last remaining pocket of tropical rainforest, a lush green sanctuary preserving the ancient Guineo-Congolian ecosystem that once stretched across Africa. This biodiversity hotspot teems with rare wildlife, including over 400 bird species, playful monkeys, and elusive forest elephants. Visitors can wander beneath towering trees draped in vines, listening to the calls of colorful turacos and the chatter of colobus monkeys. With its misty glades, hidden waterfalls, and winding nature trails, Kakamega offers a magical escape into a primeval world unlike any other landscape in Kenya—a living relic of the continent’s vanished rainforests.
