“Embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of nature as we explore the enchanting Shimba Hills National Reserve in Kenya. This reserve, one of the largest coastal forests in East Africa after Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, is rich in flora and fauna and boasts the highest density of African elephants in Kenya.
It’s also home to other remarkable species like Sable antelope, elephant shrew, bushy-tailed mongoose, and fruit bats. The forest is an important bird area, featuring a wealth of forest birdlife, while the grasslands are inhabited by localized species such as red-necked Spurfowl, Croaking Cisticola, and Zanzibar Red Bishop.
Additionally, you’ll discover the scenic Sheldrick Falls and the dense Mwaluganje Forest, all within easy reach, and have the opportunity to stay at one of four campsites.”
