You will be picked up at 7:00 AM from your accommodation in Diani for a journey to Shimba Hills National Reserve, passing through scenic landscapes with cultural insights from your guide. Arrival at the park gates is expected at approximately 8:00 AM, subject to traffic and entry procedures. After ticketing, enjoy a guided game drive from 8:00 to 10:00 AM across rainforest and grassland, with chances to see sable antelope, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and diverse birdlife. Shortly after 10:00 AM, begin the hike to Sheldrick Falls, a 2.5 km trail each way with steep sections and over 300 stairs, requiring moderate fitness. At the falls, relax, take photos, or cool off in the plunge pool.
