Shimba Hills Safari

Shimba Hills, located in Kwale County and covering an area of 300 sq km, is home to the last breeding ground of the rare sable antelopes in Kenya. The park comprises open grassland and dense rainforest, all with stunning views across the Indian Ocean. 

Animals seen in this area include elephants, buffalo, giraffes, impalas, heartbeats, sable, roan antelopes, black and white monkeys, and warthogs, to mention a few. Migrating birds include European cuckoos, lesser cuckoos, and the Eurasian golden oriole.

Lunch
