Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserve, Protected forest reserve in Pwani Region, Tanzania.

The Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserve extends across 4,887 hectares of land at elevations between 120 and 180 meters in the Kisarawe district.

The forest reserve, established in 1936, underwent significant changes due to agricultural practices and logging operations that continued through the 1970s.

Local communities incorporate specific areas of the forest into their spiritual practices, maintaining traditional worship sites within the protected boundaries.

Visitors access the reserve through designated trails that lead to viewpoints overlooking Dar Es Salaam and natural features including bat caves.

The reserve contains the Tanzanian flag-colored grasshopper among its endemic species and stands as one of the oldest surviving forests worldwide.
