The animals are not as plentiful and those I went with (their first and only safari) were disappointed. However, I can still remember seeing the Sable Antelope, and it is an experience I will never forget.
Too many (drunk) all-inclusive tourists on one day trip from Mombasa

OK for a breif excursion if you are staying nearby but I wouldn't choose it as a main safari destination is there isn't much wildlife to see.
A totally different experience. A place to breath after the heat of the coast and to view life around the waterhole and in the lodge.

Management should indicate mpesa is best option We wasted time waiting for efpos machine to work.
I went to the park with 2 colleagues from Australia only saw warthog and impala. Was disappointing not to see any animals. The birds too were handful. The bushland was great bushes too. But no animals. Would recommend the Falls only. But not a safari.

Great when you stay at the coast, specially with kids. No need to travel far to have a safari experience in the rain forest. Lots of elephants, waterbuck, leopard, genet and much more. Also very nice to have a walk down to the waterfalls where you can have a shower. If possible spend the night there in the Shimba Hills lodge, love it!!

quite nice
Generally, a very nice experience. But I would strongly suggest that one needs to go there with a local guide, otherwise you can easily miss things.
A walk to the waterfall is a must - but please make sure that you have a hat, plenty of water and are actually able to climb back onto the hill. Most importantly, always follow what the ranger says - and do not go there without him.
