Ferdinand Mwongela was at Kakamega Forest, the only remnant in Kenya of the unique Guineo-Congolian forest ecosystem, where he came across tree species with both healing and killing tendencies
This rainforest is old and impressive — some of the trees are easily over a hundred years old. I had been told that the best time to visit the forest is during the rainy season (April-July) when the flowers are blooming, but here I was in the blazing sun heading to Western Kenya.
