1-Day Shimba Hills and Sheldrick Falls Safari

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your Mombasa hotel. After a brief introduction, set off for Shimba Hills, enjoying scenic views of the countryside.

Take an hour-long nature and culture tour with the Shimba Hills Forest Guide Association. Visit a Digo village to learn about local butterfly breeding practices.

Continue deeper into the park, where you’ll leave the car behind for a hike to Sheldrick Falls, which tumbles 82 feet (25 meters) into a cool, clear pool that’s ideal for an afternoon swim.
In addition to being an important habitat for the endangered sable antelope, the Shimba Hills are home to leopards, water bucks, bush babies, and the nocturnal civet cat. Watch for the elephants that live in pockets of lush rain forest, then scan the trees for ostrich eagles, cuckoos, and African hawks.

Enjoy a hot lunch at Shimba Hills Green Safari Camp, where you’ll spend an easy-going afternoon. After lunch, return to Mombasa and get dropped off at your hotel.
