The
equatorial rainforest of Kakamega is a living museum of unique and rare
species.
This wonderful place is a treasure trove where the massive trees and
thick wet undergrowth are the habitat of a world of diverse wildlife.
The sheer abundance of birdlife here is overwhelming. This is an
important primate reserves, and the forest is full of monkeys of many
species. Beautiful Chameleons are often seen in the undergrowth.
At night the forest is a different world, the air filled with bats and
ringing with the sounds of frogs, night birds and the booming call of
the giant forest squirrel.

Despite its easy accessibility, Kakamega is a quiet haven for nature
lovers, the perfect place to relax for a few days. The forest has many
walking trails, and there are plenty of very good guides available....
Getting there: Road access to Kakamega is via Kakamega Town,
easily accessible from Kisumu by bus/matatu. You'll need your own
transport, or to be part of a safari, to get to the forest.
