Kakamega Forest Reserve The Kakamega Rain Forest is a little patch of virgin forest in Western Kenya. The dense vegetation and gaigantic indiginous trees are spectacular, and one of a kind in Kenya. In addition, the reserve is home to many different bird and monkey species. There are many trails you can walk, as well as some beautiful places to stay. One such place is the Forest Rest House. It has four double rooms which cost a few hundred shillings, or you can comp. It’s possible to eat beans and rice at a nearby shop, but you should brink your own food and means to cook it. A bit further down the road is the top-end Rondo Retreat (# (0331) 20425). It costs KSh 4400 per person per night with full board, or KSh 2500 if you want to fend for yourself. The last place to stay inside the forest is the Udo’s Bandas & Campsite in the northern part of the reserve near Isiukhu Falls. There’s seven bandas with two beds and a communal kitchen. Beds run KSh 250 per night. Bring your own food.
