Mwaluganje lies in the Shimba Hills forest near the Kwale Shimba National Reserve and is managed by the local council. The site was once a farm that elephants frequented to feed on a certain crop. it was then decided to turn the place into a sanctuary. A beautiful elephant watching site has been constructed from where visitors have uninterrupted view of the large animals. Occassionally one may also spot leopards there. Just at the entrance of the sanctuary is a local factory that makes paper from elephant dung!
