Shimba Hills One Day Tour
The Shimba Hills National Reserve is perfectly situated for a day trip if
you are staying in Mombasa or Diani Beach.
The Reserve is characterised by rolling hills which are covered in coastal forests which form one of the largest continuous forests in the World.
The reserve is home to many Elephan - up to 700 at one stage, which resulted in a great translocation program by the Kenyan Wildlife Services in the
mid 2000s. This reduced the pressure and impact that the Elephants were having on this special forest.
The Reserve is also home to the last breeding herd of Sable Antelope in Kenya and you should keep a look out for these large ebony coloured
antelope with their scimitar shaped horns.
One of the most memorable activities on offer is a guided walk through the forest which takes you to the
beautiful Sheldrick Falls.
