Kaya (Mijikenda)
''Kaya'' (plural ''makaya'') is a sacred forest of the Mijikenda people in the former Coast Province of Kenya. The ''kaya'' forest is considered to be an intrinsic source of ritual power and the origin of cultural identity; it is also a place of prayer for members of the particular ethnic group. The settlement, ritual centre, and fortified enclosure associated with the forest are also part of the ''kaya''. In the present day, the ''kaya'' is also referred to as a traditional organizational unit of the Mijikenda. Eleven of the approximately 30 separate ''kaya'' have been grouped together and inscribed as the Sacred Mijikenda Kaya Forests, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
==Geography==
More than 50 ''kaya'' have been identified within the Kwale, Mombasa, and Kilifi counties. They measure between 30 to 300 hectares each.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.africanworldheritagesites.org/cultural-places/traditional-cultural-landscapes/kaya-forests.html )〕 These are scattered over a coastal stretch of 〔 in the southern coastal plains area of Kenya, between the towns of Mombasa and Kilifi. While visitors are not allowed to enter most ''makaya'', Kaya Kinondo, a 30-hectare forest on Diani Beach, allows visitors and falls under the auspices of the Kaya Kinondo Ecotourism Project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ecotourismkenya.org/viewcommunity.php?cid=77 )〕
