Apart from monkeys and birds, you won't get to see a lot of other wildlife. In the right season, butterflies fill the forest with colourful beauty.

The Kakamega Rainforest is so beautiful! The wildlife is incredible. People come from thousands of miles away just to see the incredible birds. There are hundreds of different species of birds and butterflies in the forest. The monkeys are my favorite part! The climate is literally perfect. It is chilly in the morning and evening, and warm in the afternoon. If you want to visit the Kakamega Forest, make sure you stay at Rondo Retreat Centre, and visit the Kakamega Environmental Education Program (KEEP).

One of the few remaining primary rainforests left in Central Africa. Listening to the bonabos call in the early morning mist is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had.
