Just 40 kilometers south of Mombasa is Shimba Hills National Reserve and your opportunity to join a game viewing safari. You may spot leopards, elephants, Maasai giraffes, zebras, antelopes, ostriches, warthogs, monkeys and even the occasional lion.

The major attraction of the wildlife population is the rare Sable antelope, found in the same habitats as several large herds of buffalo. Whilst never numerous in Kenya it is thought Shimba Hills is home to the only viable population in existence.

Before your afternoon of game viewing, lunch is served at Shimba Lodge at around midday. The lodge overlooks a water hole often frequented by elephants and occasionally leopards.
