Kakamega Forest National Reserve is the only tropical rainforest in Kenya and could well be one of the remnants of the vast forest that once stretched across the girth of Africa from the Congo Basin. The forest includes some of Africa's greatest hard and soft woods and splendid orchids sitting amongst the branches of the larger trees.
Walking beneath the lush forest canopy, the deep shade is pierced by flashes of colour, exotic birdcalls, the scents of wood, flower and moss.
There are diverse trails through the forest that you can explore together with a guide. The forest is home to a huge variety of animals, birds and reptiles. Here you will find black and white Colobus monkeys, red tailed monkey, potto, bush baby, tree pangolin and the occasional leopard. Furthermore, 350 species of bird, many of which are stunningly colourful, have been recorded.
