Full-Day Shimba Hills Safari: Wildlife & Sheldrick Falls

Explore Shimba Hills National Reserve on a day trip from Mombasa. Visit a local village, hike to Sheldrick Falls, and spot rare wildlife before enjoying lunch at Shimba Hills Green Safari Lodge.
Begin your adventure with a convenient morning pickup from your hotel in Mombasa. As you journey towards the lush Shimba Hills National Reserve, enjoy scenic views of Kenya's coastal countryside, traditional villages, and rolling landscapes that gradually give way to the verdant forests of the reserve.

Upon arrival, be welcomed by the Shimba Hills Forest Guide Association for a fascinating nature and cultural experience. During this guided tour, gain insight into the rich biodiversity of the area and visit a local Digo village, where you'll learn about traditional lifestyles and community-led butterfly breeding projects that support conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

Next, leave the vehicle behind and embark on a guided forest hike to the spectacular Sheldrick Falls. The trail winds through indigenous rainforest teeming with birdlife and unique plant species. At the end of the walk, be rewarded with the sight of the beautiful 25-meter (82-foot) waterfall cascading into a crystal-clear natural pool. Here, take time to relax, take photos, and enjoy a refreshing swim surrounded by nature.

Shimba Hills is one of Kenya's most important coastal forests and a sanctuary for an incredible variety of wildlife. Keep your eyes open for the rare and endangered sable antelope, one of the reserve's most iconic residents. You may also spot elephants roaming through the forest, as well as waterbucks, bush babies, giraffes, leopards, and the elusive civet cat. Bird enthusiasts can look forward to sightings of African hawk eagles, hornbills, cuckoos, and many other colorful species that inhabit the reserve.

After your exploration, head to Shimba Hills Green Safari Lodge for a delicious hot lunch served in a tranquil natural setting. Take time to relax, soak in the panoramic views, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the forest before beginning your return journey.

In the evening, depart Shimba Hills and travel back to Mombasa, arriving at your hotel with wonderful memories of Kenya's coastal rainforest, cultural heritage, stunning waterfall, and remarkable wildlife.
