The Vikindu Forest Reserve (Hifadhi ya Msitu wa Vikindu, In Swahili) is a protected area located in Mkuranga District of Pwani Region in Tanzania that covers an area of 17.1 km2 (6.6 sq mi).

The main tarmac Dar es Salaam to Kilwa Road, which is part of the eastern edge of the forests reserve, provides access in all weather conditions.

[1] The Vikindu Forest Reserve vegetation is of the Coastal Forests type, which is significant both nationally and internationally because to its biological value and its importance as a source of water for millions of Tanzanians especially in the Temeke and Ilala Municipal councils.

The preparation of an Action/Annual Plan of Operation (APO) occasionally relied on the Forest Act and Forest Policy to direct the implementation of activities, but most of the time depended on the funding sources of TFS Eastern Zone, DFM (Mkuranga), WCST, and WWF.

[1] Adansonia digitata, and Afzelia, Julbernardia, Brachystegia, and Combretum species are abundant in Vikindu Forest Reserve's flora.
