Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest
Diani Beach, Kenya


Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest is a 30-hectare coastal forest that is part of the Diani Beach area's rich cultural and ecological heritage, revered by the Digo people. This UNESCO-listed site features thick canopies of ancient trees, rare plant species, and sacred groves that are integral to the community's spiritual practices and biodiversity.
A guided walk through the forest reveals nature trails, medicinal plants, and a chance to spot various bird species. Mornings are ideal for visits, providing cooler temperatures and the sounds of wildlife. The forest is not far from Diani Beach, making it a serene escape from the coastal bustle.
