Shimba Hills Day Trip

Coastal rainforest, sable antelope and a waterfall you can swim under

  • Day trip

An hour inland from Diani the coastal plain climbs into the Shimba Hills — cool, green, and the only place in Kenya you will see sable antelope. The walk down to Sheldrick Falls and the pool beneath it is the part most people remember.

Trip highlights

  • Sable antelope, found nowhere else in Kenya
  • Forest elephant, bushbuck and colobus in coastal rainforest
  • The guided walk to Sheldrick Falls and a swim in the plunge pool
  • Giriama Point, looking out over the Indian Ocean
