Shimba Hills & Sheldrick Falls Day Trip
Travel from Mombasa toward Shimba Hills National Reserve for a combination of wildlife viewing, highland scenery and a guided nature walk toward Sheldrick Falls when trail and weather conditions allow.
Overview
Shimba Hills offers a very different landscape from the dry plains of Tsavo. The reserve is closer to the coast, making it suitable for travellers who want a full nature day without the longer Tsavo drive.
The starting price is benchmarked to current Shimba Hills day-tour offers from Mombasa. Park fees and the exact waterfall-walk arrangements are confirmed before booking because regulations and conditions can change.
