Overview:

Shimba Hills National Reserve is a lush coastal rainforest sanctuary located just 45 minutes from Diani Beach and about 1.5 hours from Mombasa. It is famed for its rolling green hills, diverse plant life, scenic viewpoints, and rare wildlife such as the endangered sable antelope.

The reserve is also home to elephants, giraffes, buffalos, warthogs, and over 100 species of birds. One of the highlights of a Shimba Hills safari is a guided walk down to the beautiful Sheldrick Falls, where you can experience the forest up close. This makes Shimba Hills a perfect short safari option for guests on the Kenyan coast who want both game viewing and nature exploration in a single day.

Itinerary
You will be picked up in the morning from your hotel in Diani or Mombasa and drive to Shimba Hills National Reserve. After entering the park, your game drive will begin, with opportunities to spot elephants, giraffes, buffalos, and the unique sable antelope grazing in the grasslands.

Mid-morning, you will enjoy a guided nature walk to the stunning Sheldrick Falls, accompanied by a ranger. The walk takes you through the forest, offering chances to see smaller wildlife, bird species, and lush vegetation before reaching the waterfall.

Later, you will enjoy lunch at Shimba Hills Green Safari Lodge, which offers panoramic views of the rolling hills and the coastal plains. After lunch, another game drive will follow before you exit the reserve in the afternoon and return to your hotel in Diani or Mombasa, arriving in the evening.
