Kasewe Forest Reserve is an area of hills in the Moyamba District of Sierra Leone . It is designated as a forest reserve and contains moist semi-deciduous and evergreen forests that cover an area of 1.224 km2.[1][2] Made up of volcanic rock the hills stand about 500m above the interior plains of the country.[3][4] The nearest town is Lunsar.

Despite the lack of credible data on the biodiversity of this forest reserve, it is still believed that a significant number of endangered mammal species live in it. It is also known that the reserve suffers great consequences from the huge deforestation.[5]
