3-Day Kakamega Forest Safari Overview

3-Day Kakamega Forest Safari is a carefully designed Tanzania safari experience for travelers who want wildlife, scenery, comfort and local guidance. The itinerary can be customized according to your travel dates, accommodation style, budget and special interests.

A safari to Kakamega Forest, Kenya's only remaining tropical rainforest, an ecological remnant of the Guineo-Congolian forest that once stretched across Central Africa.

Kakamega is ecologically unlike anywhere else in Kenya - a genuine tropical rainforest rather than savanna, supporting primates, butterflies and bird species found nowhere else in the country. It's a strong destination for birders and forest ecology enthusiasts rather than big-game safari-goers.
