Just a short drive from Kaya Apartments lies the Arabuko Sokoke Forest — the largest intact coastal forest in East Africa and a birdwatcher’s paradise. Recognised by Birdlife International, the forest protects several rare and endangered species.
Take a guided walk through ancient tracks, discover hidden waterholes, and keep an eye out for forest elephants, golden-rumped elephant shrews, monkeys, and civets. The Tree Platform offers panoramic views and is a magical place to watch the sunset.
If you’re feeling adventurous, spend the night in the forest and wake to birdsong in one of the most important ecosystems in Africa.
