Cherengani Hills Forest

Cherengani Hills Forest is located in West Pokot County in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya.

Cherangani Hills Forest also spelled as Cherang’any Hills Forest, is a collection of thirteen forest reserve blocks. It is located in the Cherangani Hills on the western ridge of the East African Rift. The forested area is about 1,200 square kilometers, of which 956 square kilometres has been gazetted into forest reserves. These forest reserves form the upper catchments of the Kerio and Nzoia and Turkwel rivers.

The three western blocks, Kapkanyar, Kapolet and Kiptaberr, are larger and more consolidated and constitute about 20% of the Cherangani Hills Forest. Most of the rest of the forests are fragmented, cut by grasslands, bushlands, and croplands. The forests themselves are quite varied in composition.
