Attractions

The Park offers unique wildlife and gaudy scenic views of the River Isiukhu, the riverine forest and Buyangu viewpoint, giving a rounded bird-eye view of the forest canopy. At the picnic site, you can sit back and relax under the grass-thatched rest house while sipping your favorite drink and watching foul play at the water point. The catch at Kakamega Forest National Reserve is not one thing but a collection of all: The forest canopy, over 300 bird species including the voice mimicking gray African parrot, 27 snake species, 4000 types of butterflies and the Flying Squirrel not to mention the surprise special treats at the hotels.


Accompanied by guides, Tourists can go on nature trails that are not only exciting but also exigent. The walk to Buyangu Hill has been compared with that through the Great Wall of China. The Kakamega Forest National Reserve has special camps for activities such as primates/game viewing as well as bird watching and picnics.
