Located between Watamu and Malindi, this protected forest is home to rare birds, butterflies, indigenous trees and small mammals.

Accompanied by a knowledgeable local forest guide, explore designated walking trails and learn about the forest’s three main habitats: mixed forest, Brachystegia woodland and Cynometra woodland. Each habitat supports different plants and wildlife, making the walk an interesting experience for nature lovers and photographers.

Look and listen for colourful birds, monkeys, butterflies and other forest wildlife. With luck, visitors may spot rare species such as the Sokoke Scops Owl or the Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, as animals move freely through the forest.

The experience is suitable for visitors interested in nature, birdwatching, conservation and peaceful outdoor exploration. Early morning walks are recommended for birdwatching and cooler temperatures. Hotel transfers from Watamu or Malindi can be arranged, making this a convenient half-day excursion away from the coast.
