Kakamega Forest - southern and northern part
Kakamega Forest National Reserve的点评
点评：We went to Kakamega forest in late December, stayed at KWS Udo's Campsite (needs to be booked through E-Citizen) and decided to explore both parts - southern and northern in 2 days.
In the northern part, you need to come to the Kakamega Forest Station where you will meet a ranger and a tour guide who can take you through the forest. There are different walk options with different prices, and for us the difference between some of them was very blurry. For example, we opted for the long walk (3-4 hrs) but in the end it was just nearly 2 hrs so we paid less than expected (1600 KES for two people). We did not do the viewpoint as we were a bit exhausted after a long train journey, and also to get to the viewpoint, you had to take a motorcycle which was inconvenient to us. Nethertheless, the walk was nice with the guide called Abraham - he told us a lot about different types of trees and animals.
If you are very hungry and tired after the hike, there is a Rondo Retreat Centre in 2,5 km from the forest station - you may need to call and book in advance, especially during high festive season. They offered lunch at 1700 KES per person which included salad, chicken pie, dessert and tea/coffee.
From the Kakamega Forest Station to the KWS Kakamega National Reserve, it's approx. 30 km by road. You can take a guide at the gate, and there are also different walk options. This forest part seems to be better maintained and the trails are marked. We did a 4-hour walk which included primary and secondary forest, waterfall, viewpoint and the village - we paid 3,000 KES for 2 people. We had a very nice guide called Dennis.
The forest is indeed unique, but we did not see many animals - just some monkeys high in the trees and of course birds, but no reptiles or any other mammals. Perhaps one needs to spend some more days to explore it fully.
Please note the network is very poor near Kakamega Forest Station and also at Udo's Campsite so do have enough cash to pay the guides and for other expenses.

翻译：我们于 12 月下旬前往卡卡梅加森林，住在 KWS Udo 的露营地（需要通过 E-Citizen 预订），并决定在 2 天内探索南部和北部两个地区。
在北部，您需要前往卡卡梅加森林站，在那里您会遇到一名护林员和一名导游，他们可以带您穿越森林。有不同的步行选择，价格也不同，对我们来说，其中一些之间的差异非常模糊。例如，我们选择了长途步行（3-4 小时），但最终只有近 2 小时，所以我们支付的费用低于预期（两人 1600 KES）。我们没有去观景点，因为经过长途火车旅行后我们有点累了，而且要到达观景点，您必须骑摩托车，这对我们来说很不方便。尽管如此，在导游亚伯拉罕的带领下，这次散步还是很愉快的——他告诉了我们很多关于不同类型的树木和动物的知识。
如果您在徒步后感到非常饥饿和疲惫，距离森林站 2.5 公里处有一个 Rondo 休养中心 - 您可能需要提前打电话预订，尤其是在节日旺季。他们提供午餐，每人 1700 KES，包括沙拉、鸡肉馅饼、甜点和茶/咖啡。
从卡卡梅加森林站到 KWS 卡卡梅加国家保护区，大约有 30 公里的路程。您可以在门口找一位导游，还有不同的步行选择。这片森林似乎维护得更好，小径也有标记。我们进行了 4 小时的步行，包括原始森林和次生林、瀑布、观景点和村庄 - 我们为 2 人支付了 3,000 KES。我们有一位非常好的导游，名叫丹尼斯。
森林确实很独特，但我们没有看到很多动物 - 只有一些高高在树上的猴子，当然还有鸟，但没有爬行动物或任何其他哺乳动物。也许需要花更多时间才能充分探索它。
请注意，卡卡梅加森林站附近以及 Udo 露营地的网络非常差，因此请携带足够的现金来支付导游费用和其他费用。
