Escape the coastal heat with a day trip to Shimba Hills National Reserve, just an hour's drive from Diani. This stunning reserve is home to the rare Sable antelope, along with elephants, buffalo, impalas, warthogs, and a diverse array of birds and butterflies.

Begin with a short game drive upon arrival, then embark on a hike to Sheldrick Falls, a breathtaking 25-meter waterfall with a natural plunge pool, perfect for a refreshing shower. Afterward, enjoy a scenic drive through the park before heading to the lodge for a late lunch.

In the afternoon, relax at the lodge with views of the Mwaluganje Sanctuary and distant elephants. On clear days, you can see the Usambara Mountains in Tanzania. Conclude the day with a drive back to your beach hotel.

This safari was pretty awesome. Abdullah was a fantastic guide and was able to identify animals and stopped so everyone could view there was no rushing around. The walk to sheldrake falls is 2.5km down and the same back. You definitely need to be fit for this trip. There are warnings to advise to remain at the top. This was physically draining but fun. You do have knowledgeable rangers for protection

Everyone should rate safty and security 10, why? Because the guides carry machine guns for your protection. Very good experience but for the older less able generation i would think twice, that hill and step climb is no joke in 35 degree c heat. Remember remember water water water. If you dont carry water you will suffer, BAD It’s actually 2.5 km each way with mid incline to around 400 steps. On our tour people were dropping like flies. I myself struggled and if i didnt have the extra water.

Guide ie ranger Eric was great

Het is een geweldig mooi park, maar in jullie beschrijving staat dat er diverse kan vinden. Dus niet een paar antilopes en bavianen. De lunch was heerlijk. Maar voor het betaalde geld had ik toch wel meer verwacht.

Shimba Hills ist eine Art Regenwald, Tiere sind hier zwischen den Bäumen/Pflanzen also nur schwer zu sehen, bis auf viele Baboons (Affen). Die Gegend ist aber trotzdem schön. Der Weg zum Wasserfall und zurück war selbst für uns (durchschnittliche Sportlichkeit) bei 35Grad extrem anstrengend. Baden unter dem Wasserfall war da eine willkommene Abkühlung. Highlight war am Ende noch die "Green Lodge". Sehr gutes Essen, sehr nette Menschen und beim Essen ein Ausblick von der Terasse über halb Kenia

Mooie safari door shimba hills, groen, afwisselend, hike naar falls is mooi, maar ook pittig in de hitte, rond 400 treden naar beneden en in totaal 2,5 km afdalen en na bezoek weer naar boven, falls is mooie en koele verademing, niet om te zwemmen, wel ppotje boden of eronder staan, omkleden kan bij de watervallen goed, Lodge was super, heerlijk eten en fabuleus uitzicht, ik ben na de lunch daar gebleven en even heerlijk gezwommen, met banuit zwembad prachtig uitzicht over t dal
