The Sheldrick's waterfall: a safari attraction in Shimba Hills reserve

The sable antelope endemic

You will be picked up from your Mombasa hotel by our safari driver guide and drive to Shimba Hills National reserve. You will then drive to Likoni where you will cross the Likoni channel by ferry to get to the mainland, South Coast. You will drive through cashew nuts and palm tree plantations and also get an insight into the lifestyle of the local people. Game viewing will begin as soon as you enter Shimba Hills National Reserve where you will see some wildlife among them elephant, buffalo, the endangered sable antelope (endemic to this park) you will also have a chance to observe the flora and fauna of the tropical rainforest. You will also visit the Sheldrick falls by foot – you will go down the hill; a 45 minutes gentle walk takes you to the breathtaking spectacular fall. Watch water splashing atop a cliff 30 meters high and the water forms a natural pool - this is a fitness exercise and its recommended for the physically fit people.

Drive through the park to Shimba lodge. A ‘tree’ lodge built on stilts, with walk ways above the ground, overlooking a waterhole and salt lick in a forest glade, Shimba Hills Lodge provides a perfect spot to watch the creatures of the wild.

After lunch you will go for another game drive and thereafter leave for Mombasa where you will be dropped at your Mombasa hotel
