Even if Kenya has lost most of its forest, you will find an interesting part here in Shimba Hills. A close by parc on the southern coast of Mombasa, it is a cheaper way to see Elephants, Giraffes, Buffaloes and other antilopes. You might see ostriches, wartogs, monkeys and if you are very lucky some very rare speacies, as long as you are at the right time at the right place. Shimba Hills is also a nice place to get some fresh air if you want to avoid the heat wave of the coast. I mostly go there at 4.30 pm where i always meet the elephants along the road.

Too many (drunk) all-inclusive tourists on one day trip from Mombasa

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.
