ARABUKO-SOKOKE NATIONAL FOREST
Overview
What makes this experience worth the stop.
Arabuko-Sokoke National Forest as the largest remaining coastal forest in East Africa, Arabuko-Sokoke is blessed with incredible biodiversity – including amphibians, butterflies and birds. A two hours’ drive from Mombasa and 30 minutes from Malindi, it is a beautiful and convenient natural ecosystem to visit, and an easy site to add on to before or after spending time on the beach. Over 260 species of birds have been recorded in the forest among which include the threatened Clarke’s weaver and the spotted ground thrush. The forest also hosts rare mammals like the bushy-tailed mongoose, Ader’s duiker and golden-rumped elephant shrew. Arabuko-Sokoke National Forest is an excellent place to go for birding, picnics and nature walks.
