It is located just a short drive away from the city and offers a unique combination of lush greenery and stunning coastal views. The reserve is one of the largest coastal forests in East Africa and features a variety of wildlife including elephants, civet cats, leopards, bush duikers, sable antelopes, black-faced Vervet monkeys, Sykes monkeys, and many more. The park is also home to hundreds of birds including the African hawk eagle, ostriches, hornbill, and sunbird.
