A typical tour lasts 8 to 10 hours. We start early (around 7:00 AM) to ensure you see wildlife while the temperatures are cool and the animals are most active.
You will see Elephants and occasionally Leopards, but Shimba Hills is not a "Big Five" park. Instead, it offers the rare Sable Antelope, which you won't find in the Maasai Mara or Tsavo.
Absolutely. Shimba Hills is a protected National Reserve managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Our tours use private, well-maintained vehicles and include professional rangers for the waterfall hike.
