Araboku Sokoke Forest and Gede Ruins

An early (but not as early as planned!) start for a trip north to the coastal forest park of Araboku Sokoke. Various forest views…

Trees for seed stock

Butterflies on elephant dung

The road we followed looking for the tree house

Having failed to find the tree house we turned back, stopped at the swamp, and as we took this photo Meld saw the treehouse behind me!

Birds around the swamp

Up the tree house

More dug, more butterflies

 

After lunch we went to Gede Ruins, and were greeted by monkeys

The ruins of the Swahili town are impressive. A fig tree grows through one of the mosques
