Shakahola forest is an 800 acres (320 ha) forest area that is part of Chakama Ranch in Kilifi County, eastern Kenya.[1] Shakahola village is nearby. The nearest large town is Malindi, on Kenya's Indian Ocean coast.[2]
In 2023, a number of mass graves were found in the forest, leading to an investigation of what is now known as the Shakahola forest massacre.[3]
