Kwale

The Indian Ocean coast and the Shimba Hills define much of Kwale — agriculture, fishing and tourism give the county a varied coastal economy. Along Kenya’s southern shore, Kwale ranges from the resort area around Diani to rural settlements and wooded uplands near the Tanzanian border. Shimba Hills National Reserve protects coastal forest, grassland and wildlife, while Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary is known for community-led conservation. Kwale is also part of the Mijikenda homeland; Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest belongs to the UNESCO-listed Sacred Mijikenda Kaya Forests, recognised for their spiritual traditions.
