About this tour

Shimba National Reserve is rich in flora and fauna and hosts the highest density of African elephant in Kenya. Other animal species found in the area are Sable antelope, elephant shrew, bushy tailed mongoose and other small mammals like fruit bats. The forest is an important bird area and is endowed with forest birdlife while the grasslands hold localized species such as red-necked-Spur fowl, Croaking Cisticola and Zanzibar Red Bishop. The scenic Sheldrick Falls and the dense Mwaluganje Forest are also found here.

A trip to Shimba Hills is unexpectedly unique – this is a coastal rainforest complete with mists, sea breezes and waterfalls. In this cool climate you’ll view elephants and sable antelope along with monkeys, giraffe and several kinds of big cats. The reserve is convenient to Mombasa and adjoining coastal resorts.
