Not your usual safari - it's a rain forest not a savannah. Exceptional for birding and hiking. Lots of monkeys and chimpanzees too.
Ronda's Retreat is the best place to stay in Kenya, particularly if they let you pay Kenyan rates. Blue monkeys and loads of birds on the grounds. Quite hard to see other wildlife in the park as it is a forest. Hire a guide.
Nice park with loads of monkeys. It is a very unique setting in rain forest which Kenya has little of.

Apart from monkeys and birds, you won't get to see a lot of other wildlife. In the right season, butterflies fill the forest with colourful beauty.

Apparently quite unique wildlife (butterflies) but too small and too close to the people

"Forest" is not how I would describe the few hecaters of trees that make up Kakamega Forest National Reserve. If you want to experience a tropical rainforest, go elsewhere (Democratic Republic of Congo, for example).
