Arabuko Sokoke Park

Arabuko Sokoke National Park, Watamu

 
While a trip to the Arabuko Sokoke National Park cannot compare to an East African safari it is a great place for families who might otherwise miss out on Kenya's wildlife. At 420 square km, Arabuko is East Africa's largest remaining tract of indigenous coastal forest and home to wide variety of birds and butterflies as well as amphibians and smaller mammals. Walk the forest paths in search of the Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew, Clarke's Weaver, Sokoke Scops Owl, and Syke's Monkey.
