    The largest Tropical Rain forest in East Africa. Hosts of more than 1000 butterfly and birds species. Also home of some of the near-extinct monkeys

    Kakamega Forest is worth a visit. It has a beautiful swamp and natural forest. However there's a lot of encroachment by the community.

    The only rain forest in Kenya with different types of birds,trees,butterflies, monkeys. We enjoyed our one hour walk with the guide.The location of the gate is a bit different as per Google maps so got a bit lost,one need to head to Kenya forest offices.

    Excellent nature trail. A good place to just relax, picnic and enjoy nature. No goods or snacks sold in there, so carry your own.

    I've been coming here since I was little. It's beautiful, has nice picnic sites and the wardens are very nice. Get to see plenty of colobus monkeys which are just gorgeous. However you can see that parts of the forest are thinning out which worries me because this is the only tropical rainforest we have! We need to protect it!

    Kakamega Forest is a beautiful rainforest north of Kisumu in western Kenya. Hiking in the forest is a wonderful experience, as the trees are teaming with bird life, monkeys, and butterflies. The variety of trees is really neat, from the giant fig trees to the unique wild palms near the Yala River.

    Serene, cool environment. Perfect for the forest marathon. However, patches of deforestation are clearly visible. The authorities had better act, joining hands with conservationists to educate the locals on the need for conservation

    So many amazing hikes, sights and sounds in Kakamega Rainforest! North entry is near waterfalls and river hikes. Stay at Busambuli, 5 minutes from the KWS North gate.
