excellent for specific species of birds & monkeys, but not as much variety as other parks

One of the few remaining primary rainforests left in Central Africa. Listening to the bonabos call in the early morning mist is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had.

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.
