1-Day Shimba Hills & Sheldrick Falls Day Tour from Diani

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

Discover the unspoiled beauty of Shimba Hills National Reserve, a short drive from Diani. Known as the 'Paradise of the sable antelope,' this lush landscape is also home to rare wildlife such as the elephant shrew, bushy-tailed mongoose, giraffes, buffalo, and vibrant birdlife including the Zanzibar red bishop. Your day begins with an early pickup from your Diani hotel, followed by a scenic 50-minute drive enriched with cultural insights from your guide. Upon arrival, enjoy a smooth ticketing process before setting off on a guided game drive through rainforest and open grasslands. Around 10:00am, take a guided hike to Sheldrick Falls—an invigorating 5km (3mi) round trip with the option to cool off in the fresh spring waters. After your adventure, unwind with an optional lunch at the peaceful Green Lodge (approximately $20, paid directly). Once booked, our team will contact you via WhatsApp to confirm details, accommodate any special requests and arrange drop-off at your Diani hotel.
