Opis
Kakamega is a large remnant of the once extensive tropical forests found from Kenya west to Uganda and the Congo. As such, it has numerous special and hard to find elsewhere species - including Blue-headed Bee-eater, Gray-chested Babbler (very hard to find), Red-headed Malimbe, Jameson's Wattle-eye, Blue-shouldered Robin-Chat, and lots of greenbuls! Also Great Blue Turaco can be observed. With over 400 species on an extensive trail network, every birder visiting Kenya should spend a few days here at least.

Kakamega Forest is located in western Kenya, within Kakamega County, near the border with Uganda. It lies approximately 418 km northwest of Nairobi and about 50 km north of Kisumu. The main area for birding is around the Isecheno Forest Station and Rondo Lodges. It is best to stay inside the park or at a hotel nearby. You will have to drive to get there - or take a taxi.
The forest can only be explored on foot - slowly and patiently. Hiring a specialist birding guide is highly recommended, and they also will help you take care of the entrance fee.

There are two places to stay at Kakamega forest. The first (and most well known) is the Rondo Retreat. It is expensive, but meals are included, and guides can be arranged from there. The second place is Isecheno Blue-shouldered Guest House, which is located just outside the forest (very easy walkable distance). It is managed by Smith Likare, who is also an exceptional birding guide. Smith can be reached on WhatsApp at +254 722 886833. The guest house itself is inexpensive, basic, but clean, safe and has hot showers (after a long day in the forest!). You can purchase tasty meals for a modest price. For the budget conscious birder, this is a great place to stay.
