Escape the bustling city of Mombasa and join us on a day trip to Shimba Hills National Reserve, which is home to some of Kenya's most beautiful scenery. It is located just a short drive away from the city and offers a unique combination of lush greenery and stunning coastal views. The reserve is one of the largest coastal forests in East Africa and features a variety of wildlife including elephants, civet cats, leopards, bush duikers, sable antelopes, black-faced Vervet monkeys, Sykes monkeys, and many more. The park is also home to hundreds of birds including the African hawk eagle, ostriches, hornbill, and sunbird.
The highlight of visiting Shimba Hills is the majestic Sheldrick Falls, a stunning waterfall that is 21 m high and nestled within the reserve. The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a serene and picturesque setting for visitors to enjoy. It is the ideal place to cool off after an afternoon spent exploring this beautiful landscape. Sheldrick Falls is not only a natural wonder but also a testament to the rich biodiversity that can be found in the Shimba Hills. Get your cameras ready and watch the water run off the cliff into the plunge pool.
