Travellers to Kakamega Forest often face a choice: stay in Kakamega town and drive in each day, or stay right at the forest edge. For birders and nature lovers, the forest edge wins every time.
Why stay at Isecheno?
- Location. Isecheno is the hub of the southern forest, with trails starting a short walk away.
- Dawn access. No early taxi rides — just step out and start birding.
- Local guides. Expert guides are based right here.
What to expect at our guesthouse
