Guided tour

Isiukhu & Yala River Waterfall Hike

Follow forest trails to the rivers that drain Kakamega Forest and the waterfalls that are at their most spectacular after the rains.

The Isiukhu and Yala rivers wind through the forest, and the trails that follow them lead to quiet pools and waterfalls. They are at their most impressive during and shortly after the rainy seasons.

This is a longer outing with some uneven and muddy ground, so good footwear and a rain jacket are recommended. Your guide will choose the safest route for the conditions on the day.

Highlights

  • Riverine forest and waterfalls
  • Kingfishers and other riverside birds
  • Fewer visitors and deep forest atmosphere
  • Picnic lunch can be packed by the kitchen

Good to know

  • Forest entrance fees are payable separately — your guide can help you arrange this.
  • Wear sturdy, closed shoes; trails can be wet and slippery.
  • Bring binoculars, water, a light rain jacket and insect repellent.
  • Rates depend on group size and duration — ask us on WhatsApp for a quote.
