Ramisi is a small town and ward in the Msambweni Constituency of Kwale County, southeastern Kenya, close to the Tanzanian border. A sugar processing factory is located in Ramisi, named the Kwale International Sugar Factory.[1][2][3] Ramisi also has several schools. The Ramisi river flows to the west of the town.

Dr Mulji Modha (1939-2016) spent considerable time growing up in Ramisi. He came to love the wildlife around the sugar plantations, forests and rivers around Ramisi and eventually went on to become a leading authority in the world on crocodiles.[4]
