Resident Plan Details

Shimba Hills is the reserve most people driving between Mombasa and Diani pass right by, which is exactly why it is worth stopping for. It is one of the only places left in Kenya to see sable antelope in the wild, alongside elephant, buffalo, and a forest canopy thick enough to feel nothing like the open plains most safari photos show. This is not a multi day commitment, it is a single, well run day out of the city, shared transport, a guide who knows the reserve, and a genuine forest hike to Sheldrick Falls built into the middle of the day. Pickup is straightforward from Mtwapa or Mwembe Tayari in Mombasa CBD, and the whole day is paced so you get both a proper morning game drive and an afternoon one, with the falls hike and a break in between rather than everything crammed into a rushed loop. Bring your own snacks or a packed lunch, wear shoes you can actually hike in, and the rest is handled.
