Shimba Hills National Reserve: Comprehensive Expedition Overview
Rising just 45 minutes inland from Diani Beach, Shimba Hills National Reserve is a cool, misty paradise of coastal rainforest, rolling grasslands, and steep valleys.
Shimba Hills preserves East Africa’s last viable population of the critically endangered Sable Antelope, famous for its scimitar-shaped horns and dark mahogany coat.
Guided forest treks lead visitors down to Sheldrick Waterfalls, a pristine 21-meter natural cascade dropping into a cool swimming pool surrounded by lianas and rare orchids.
