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.

This Private Mombasa City Tour shows you some of the best highlights of this colorful old city. You tour will visit the bustling fruit and vegetable market, which has been in operation since colonial days. As you wonder the streets of The Old Arab town, you will see the intricate hand carved doors, and balconies hanging over the narrow streets, unchanged for hundreds of years.

Protecting the harbor stands Fort Jesus which was built by the Portuguese 400 years ago, to protect their interest in east Africa. See how it went from Fort to prison to tourist attraction.

Walk under the famous elephant tusks on Moi Ave, which you probably have seen in those old African adventure movies. Finally we visit the Akamba wood carvers center. Here you can purchase a fine hand carved African memento, that you would have to pay so dearly for back home.

For the photographer, sights and opportunities for great photos abound.

Soaring mountain ranges give way to plummeting valleys as streams cascade over waterfalls, making Aberdares National Park a landscape lovers paradise. With over 250 species of bird, it is also a haven for bird watching enthusiasts.

Located in the heart of Aberdares National Park, The Ark is known as a "tree hotel", built on pylons in such a way as not to disturb the animals around the waterhole. Its three decks provide superb vantage points for game viewing around the floodlit waterhole.
