Kakamega Forest Reserve

 
The Kakamega Forest Reserve is home to over 300 species of birds, over 400 recorded butterflies, seven species of monkeys and other mammals, as well as snakes, other reptiles and various insects. The forest is also home to the endangered DeBrazza monkey.

Kakamega Forest National Reserve is the only tropical rainforest left in Kenya. At one time dense rain forest stretched from West Africa, across Central Africa and into the highland areas on the west and eastern walls of the Great Rift Valley.

A team of ranger guides will escort visitors through the Kakamega Forest Reserve along the many trails and to Buyango Hill, the highest point in the forest.
