The Arabuko Sokoke Forest is nestled beside Watamu and Malindi Marine Parks, about 120 km from Mombasa. This forest is the largest coastal forest in Eastern Africa. In this 417 sq km reserve there is an untold wealth of natural beauty and rare varities of birds. The air is filled with butterflies and birds, the trees are alive with monkeys and the forest floor is mome to many smaller mammals. The forest streches to the headwaters of the mighty Sabaki River. Occassionally herds of elephant pass through the forest en route to the river.
