Arabuko-Sokoke Forest is East Africa’s largest coastal forest and a sanctuary for rare and endangered species. Here, birdwatchers may glimpse the elusive Sokoke Scops Owl, Clarke’s Weaver, and Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew. Guided nature walks wind through towering trees, butterfly farms showcase vibrant wings in motion, and cultural visits with Giriama communities add a human heartbeat to the wilderness. Often visited as a day trip from Malindi or Watamu, Arabuko-Sokoke blends nature, culture, and conservation into one enriching experience.
