Mombasa: Gede Ruins and Arabuko Sokoke Forest Tour

Discover the rich cultural history and biodiversity of Kenya’s coast on a day tour to Gede Ruins and Arabuko Sokoke Forest. Explore ancient Swahili heritage and a natural ecosystem.
Begin your journey at the mysterious Gede Ruins, a 12th-century Swahili city hidden deep within the forest near the Indian Ocean. Once a thriving trading center connected to Arabia, India, and China, Gede was mysteriously abandoned in the 17th century.

Walk through the well-preserved remains of mosques, palaces, coral-stone houses, and ancient wells as your knowledgeable guide explains Swahili architecture, daily life, and the legends surrounding the city’s disappearance. Learn about the Indian Ocean trade routes and how Gede played a key role in early coastal civilization.

After exploring Gede, continue to Arabuko Sokoke Forest, East Africa’s largest remaining coastal forest and a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot. Accompanied by an experienced local guide, enjoy a guided nature walk through different forest habitats, including dense woodland and open thicket.

The forest is home to rare and endemic species such as the Sokoke scops owl, Clarke’s weaver, Amani sunbird, forest butterflies, reptiles, and medicinal plants. You may also spot monkeys and hear stories about the forest’s conservation efforts and community involvement.
